Foreman 1.8 puppet_interval and hosts out of sync

Setting puppet_interval in puppet web ui to 10 doesn't seem to be doing
anything except mark hosts as 'out of sync' when the last report is >
puppet_interval + 5 minutes.

I thought maybe this setting would take effect on newly deployed hosts but
this is not the case. When I manually set /etc/puppet/puppet.conf to
contain:

[agent]
runinterval = 600

My hosts do not go 'out of sync'.

Should I be using a puppet module to configure the puppet agent configs on
hosts to include this option or is there a base file I can modify on
foreman that will contain this change for new hosts?

Thanks

New hosts are entirely configured by provisioning templates. The
defaults use a snippet called "puppet.conf", so try editing that
template to add any settings you want.
