Hosts out of sync

Support
1

In my foreman-interface, 50% of the nodes are not reporting back and goes
out of sync. The interval is 30 min. What I don't understand is the
configuration on all nodes are same, so why some are reporting back on
every 30 min while other goes out of sync. Am I missing something? Thanks
in Advance

Most likely there is a module or class that is trying to be run, thats
failing in some way. Take a look at the reports for the nodes. Then hop on
a node and try a puppet run while tailing the logs.

Well start with basic tests, make sure the puppet agent service is running.
What OS, and versions are you running. Usually a 'service puppet status'
gets you the answer to this.

I've not attached any modules to any host so far. But it is suppose to run
the agent on every 30 min and report it back to the foreman right? Half of
mine hosts are doing that without having any modules attached to them.
Also, If I go on each node and do " puppet run --test", the host will
immediately report back to the foreman server. But they are supposed to do
that automatically in every 30 min right? Thanks in advance. You've been
really good help.

check if the service puppet is running.
