Adding Foreman to an existing Puppet

Support
1

I already have a Puppet server, and a bunch of nodes managed by it. I want
to add the Foreman to this, for reporting and management, but am unclear
how to do it. Is it best to:

  1. Install Foreman on the existing Puppet server. (What would I need to
    do to integrate it while keeping all the Puppet configuration intact?)

  2. Install Foreman on a separate server and connect the existing Puppet to
    it. (How would I make this connection?)

  3. Install Foreman and Puppet on a new server and migrate the entire
    Puppet setup to it.

Thoughts?

thanks,

I would install Foreman on a new server, and then configure your existing
Puppet Master(s) to send reports to it. You will need to install a
smart-proxy on the Puppetmaster. If you wish to use Foreman as an ENC, you
will also need to configure your Puppet masters to request ENC data from
Foreman. This is covered in the manual.
