DNS Smart proxy times out

[trinaryouroboros]

Just reporting, I’m getting the same issue:

Smart Proxy Infoblox DNS records not being created

The DNS module does load, according to the logs. I tried setting in dns.yaml from enabled: https, to enabled:true, restarted foreman-proxy, refreshed smart proxy on foreman front end, create host now gives the following error: Unable to save Create IPv4 DNS record for dev-testvm79 task failed with the following error: ERF12-2357 [ProxyAPI::ProxyException]: Unable to set DNS entry ([RestClient::RequestTimeout]: Request Timeout) for proxy http://foreman-proxy:8443/dns Checked log, says 200 now, …

So, there’s three problems:

• While it does create an A record, it should be creating a Host record in Infoblox, so that PTR can be automatically configured.

• This error occurs due to timeout, because it’s not getting data returned, and returns you back to the host creation screen:

Create IPv4 DNS record for dev-testvm080 task failed with the following error: ERF12-2357 [ProxyAPI::ProxyException]: Unable to set DNS entry ([RestClient::RequestTimeout]: Request Timeout) for proxy http://foreman-proxy:8443/dns

• The process by which Foreman is deploying the system is blocked by this DNS failure, ultimately DNS should just be a warning and not interrupt the users deployment, they can always manually add DNS if necessary:
