After configuring Foreman to receive all the reports from all our puppet
agents (which works like a charm), I'm trying to configure the facts
importing process.
We have 3 puppet masters with a central database where we store all the
exported resources and we don't want foreman to use the same database.
We are not using ENC either so the only choice we have is to use the
push_facts.rb script:
When running it, the script doesn't show any error, however, the facts
are not imported and I'm getting the following error in foreman.log:
Processing FactValuesController#create to yml (for 192.168.254.226 at
2011-12-30 12:56:30) [POST]
Parameters: {"facts"=>"[FILTERED]", "format"=>"yml",
"action"=>"create", "controller"=>"fact_values"}
Completed in 2ms (View: 0, DB: 0) | 400 Bad Request
[http://xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx/fact_values/create?format=yml]
Some thing I had to change is the directory where the script is going to
get the yaml files. While the script is going to
${puppetdir}/yaml/facts/ for some reason we don't have this directory
but {puppetdir}/yaml/node/
Are those yaml files the ones the script is supposed to use? Why I don't
have the same directory name?

My guess you are using the inventory service, if you dont use it, change
your facts store to yaml, then it would create those files, and you would
be able to import it.
Yes, we're using the inventory service and unfortunately we cannot
disable it because we have other software fetching information from it
Is there any other way to import those facts into foreman?

I'm sure that there is a way, and probably its not too hard, if you can
provide some sample output that you can get from the inventory service, we
could probably import that back into foreman.
After configuring Foreman to receive all the reports from all our
puppet agents (which works like a charm), I’m trying to configure
the facts importing process.
Some thing I had to change is the directory where the script is
going to get the yaml files. While the script is going to
${puppetdir}/yaml/facts/ for some reason we don’t have this
directory but {puppetdir}/yaml/node/
Are those yaml files the ones the script is supposed to use? Why I
don’t have the same directory name?
We’re using puppet 2.7.9
My guess you are using the inventory service, if you dont use it, change
your facts store to yaml, then it would create those files, and you
would be able to import it.
