Foreman 1.24.1 - Hammer Host Create Failing: nil is not numeric

Thanks for the report! looks like our fix for the issue has been incomplete. Opened Bug #28727: dns timeout setting is `[nil]` causing dns lookup to fail - Foreman to fix this correctly. Do you happen to have a db backup from 1.24.0 before you upgraded to 1.24.1?

Hi, I also made the “mistake” to upgrade to version 1.24.1. When I create a new host via the webinterface I get also the error:

**Oops, we're sorry but something went wrong** nil is not numeric

… Is there a workaround to get a machine deployed? thanks

yes, reset the dns_timeout setting to default value (or give it any other value you wish - as long as it’s an array of integers)

can you also please confirm the value currently there is [nil]?

after the upgrade the value is . I think it was [3] before.

I set it to [5] and the deployment works again. thanks for your advice.
