I think that if puppet succeeded in running on a cached catalog (even
though it failed to retrieve remote catalog) the run as a whole is
considered successful. There is a puppet.conf setting for the agent
that would probably change this behaviour if you wanted:
# Whether to use the cached configuration when the remote
# configuration will not compile. This option is useful for testing
# new configurations, where you want to fix the broken configuration
# rather than reverting to a known-good one.
# The default value is 'true'.
# usecacheonfailure = true

I can't say unless I examine the reporting code which I don't have
time to do right now. Open a Foreman bug/feature request if you want
the behaviour in a specific way.

I have set in every puppet agent configuration "usecacheonfailure = false"
but I still have the issue.
Server is flaged as synced (Green)
When I list details about the last report I can see some entries flaged
as Error from the master (can not compile catalog), but the global status
of the server is still green.
It seems that Foreman do not handle complete skip of puppet run.
What can I do ?

Does Puppet send a report if the run is completely skipped? If there's
no report, it's not surprising that Foreman does not update.

It seems that the agent send a report because I can display it in foreman
UI and see some entries flaged as Error.

That's defintely not the previous report? If so, there's probably a bug
in there somewhere…

So, here is, I suppose, the status of the Host : "summary":"Success"
My Issue here is :
When the Master doesn't manage to compile a catalog, the Host is
unchanged, so he reports success.
How ever, foreman manage to flage each log entries from the report and
this entry is recognized as an Error (I haven't found where in the code the
flag happen)
So I would like, when a log entry is flagged as an Error, from the run of
the agent or the master compilation, that the server status label change as
Error.
Else, the agent skip sillently the run and the server stay labeled as
"synced" but he is not.
Yes it is more a master / compilation issue. But does it sounds right or
how do you do to ensure that your catalogs runs ?

afair, this is a limitation of puppet earlier then 2.6.5, can you try with
a recent version and see if it works?

Ok Ohad, I will try with a more recent Puppet master and let you know.
Thanks for the answer by the way
