Foreman ansible callback plugin foreman_callback.py generate duplicate hosts in foreman

Support
1

Hello,

I have a problem with duplicate hosts in Foreman.

Info: My setup
Foreman = 1.15.2
Foreman_ansible = 1.4.5
ansible = 2.0.0.2

I use the callback plugin foreman_callback.py
as described here ->
Foreman :: Plugin Manuals.

I have configured my foreman and ansible.

Foreman-Settings:
Create new host when Facts are uploaded = Yes
Create new host when reports is uploaded = Yes

If i run on my ansible server:

ansible all -m setup

all is fine the hosts were created correctly in Foreman.
But if i run the ansible command again the host were duplicated.

Please see attachment how is look like.

Has anyone a idea why the foreman_callback.py duplicated the Hosts in
Foreman?

Regards
mobios

I think this happens when you don't use the fqdn in ansible hosts file.

As soon as I started using the the correct fqdn I only got one host and no
duplicates.

Just experimented a little more, I think it's your callback version. Will
write more information in the next few days.

I experimeted a lot more and was not able to get consistent results…

I use mainly SLES11.2, 11.3, 11.4 to experiment.

My problem is that sometimes I get duplicate entries if not using fqdn,
sometimes I don't.
Also sometimes OS Model and NICs get correct values and sometimes they
don't.

Comparing the ansible module setup output of servers with different
behavior does not show any obvious difference to me…

I will investigate further :slight_smile:
