Ignore Salt reports from hosts not managed by Foreman

Support
1

We have salt-master which manages ec2 instances. Also we installed Foreman
to manage about 70 bare metal servers. We successfully installed and
configured salt-plugin and salt-proxy to manage bare metal servers via
existing salt-master. But now we are receiving reports for salt jobs from
all hosts, not only managed by Foreman.
Is it possible to ignore such reports? Because instead of 70 bare metal
serves now in list we have more than 300 servers.

2

Not at the moment, you could file an feature request in Redmine.

Upload-salt-reports uploads them all, and report triggers
a host creation. Likewise, if salt is configured to use foreman-node it's
going to do it for every host, and that also triggers a host creation as
grains are uploaded then.

I see. I found option :upload_grains: in /etc/salt/foreman.yaml but can't
find what this option does.

That would turn off grain uploads, but not reports

Actually, there's two settings in Foreman:

create_new_host_when_report_is_uploaded
create_new_host_when_facts_are_uploaded

Maybe try those?

foreman_salt should obey both of them, so we won't create hosts for you, but existing
hosts will get reports and grains.
