Hello there,
I'm pretty new to foreman (about one week) but I find it to be completely
awesome.
I've one question thou: How does foreman get each hosts environment ? Looks
like it get mixed up with environment fact. I've noticed most my hosts get
listed as "production", but a few ones get listed as "prod" (which is the
actual value of fact environment we use around here) and a few others list
as "dev" and "qa" (which are also valid values for environment fact).
Puppet 0.25 on clients and 0.26 on server. Foreman 0.15. 
Any hints on this would be greatly appreciated!
AFAIR, you need to have all your hosts under "Production" environment. I am
not sure if there have been changes or if this addresses your issue, but
just fyi.

Foreman defaults to production environment (as puppet) if none is defined,
so in other words, if your client report their environment, it uses that
(i.e. "prod") or defaults to production.
if you are using Foreman as external nodes classifier, then you need to
select the environment in foreman itself and remove it from the client
configs.
hope this helps.

I'm just wondering how my fact environment got into foreman since I don't
use --environment=production or in puppet.conf.
Something is mixed up here.

did a host was associated with environment, or do you just see them in
Foreman?
When you import your puppet classes and modules, Foreman also learn about
the environments (and which class / module exists in which environment).

My understanding is:
- "environment" is a puppet concept described here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/environment.html
- foreman only uses this for when you use it, foreman, to run puppet
remotely, in which case foreman will specify the environment the
client should claim to be part of when it runs it.
- I don't know how foreman decides what environment a new host is in,
if you did not select it manually in the GUI, but "production" is the
default in puppet and apparently foreman as well.
In my case, using soredconfigs and mysql backend, I just added a new
host, outside of foreman GUI, and it instantly appeared in the GUI,
along with its reports and facts… but with the environment variable
empty, even though the new host had the environment fact set to
"testing"

Could you help me out understading what an environment is ? Is it a default
fact from puppet (if that's the case, we must change our fact name to
something else).
If I run facter environment on my hosts, the answers I get are: prod, dev
and qa. There's not a "production" anywhere, still, foreman sees the fact
environment as "production" on most hosts. Just a couple follow the actual
fact.
Im just wondering how foreman determines the environment.
