Foreman ENC and site.pp in parallel

Support
1

Dear Users,
probably one silly question.
Is it possible to use the classic puppet manifests site.pp and node.pp and
inside Foreman at the same time?
Even better is it possible to give to the users the possibility to chose
which kind of ENC to use?

Thank you.
Cheers.

Luca

Site.pp isn't an ENC, so the idea of choice doesn't really apply. The
data coming from the ENC will be merged with any existing site.pp
data, and there are specific things you need to know about that
scenario [1]. However, broadly speaking, it should work fine. Check
through the notes in that link, and then post back with more details
about your problem if you're still stuck :slight_smile:

The puppet default "lookup order" to find classes for a node is:

  1. ENC if configured
  2. site.pp

The puppet master will treat the ENC as the authoritative source for
classification and fall back to site.pp. So yes you can have both.

No sorry I did a mistake, it doesn't work.
Or site.pp or Foreman ENC is it correct?
