Problem:

I have installed the Foreman Monitoring Plugin and Foreman Proxy Monitoring Plugin but the Smart-Proxy is not able to load the module and shuts it down with the error:

Disabling all modules in the group ['monitoring'] due to a failure in one of them: no implicit conversion of String into Hash

Expected outcome:

Module Starts and can speak to Icinga2

Foreman and Proxy versions:

3.11.1

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Plugin is version 0.3.0? Installed via the foreman-installer

Distribution and version:

RHEL 8.10
Kernel 4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10.x86_64

I’m still having this issue. Configured the Proxy per the documentation but when I go to restart the foreman-proxy daemon It fails to start. Seeing this error in the proxy.log

What am I missing?

Here is my settings file

# Collect Monitoring information via Icinga 2 API
:enabled: true

# The FQDN or IP address of the Icinga 2 server (if using IP address also set verify_ssl to false)
:server: 10.0.1.178

:api_cacert: /etc/foreman-proxy/monitoring/ca.crt
# The port of Icinga 2 API (default is 5665)
:api_port: 5665
# The name of API User

# The certificate issued on the client_cn attribute of the API User and the corresponding key

As usual a google search led me to the solution. :slight_smile:
