Inconsistent behavior in puppet facts update in foreman api

Support
1

Hi,

We can find an inconsistent behavior in getting the updated facts values on
invocation of “GET /api/hosts/:host_id/facts
<https://sdin-swt-at-02.sdcorp.global.sandisk.com/apidoc/v1/fact_values/index.html>”
Foreman API.

On execution of “puppet agent –test –tags <module_name>”, imports facts for
the node is not happening every time.

Below is the “foreman/production.log” where in the first execution of the
above command facts for the node is imported. On the other hand, in the
second run it didn’t.

First Run:

2016-07-13 19:05:03 [app] [I] Parameters:
{"id"=>"sdin-swt-at-24.sdcorp.global.sandisk.com"}

Again, in puppetdb logs, we observed that even though the facts are
replaced on each execution of “puppet agent –test –tags <module_name>” but,
the facts values on invocation of “GET /api/hosts/:host_id/facts
<https://sdin-swt-at-02.sdcorp.global.sandisk.com/apidoc/v1/fact_values/index.html>”
Foreman API was not updated inconsistently.

Can anybody suggest us the reason behind the inconsistent behavior?

Hi,

I think it's the same issue as Stephen addressed recently in this PR
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/3615,
there was some ancient check (7 years is a long time:) no skip the imports
of facts when sent within 1 minute from the same
hosts.
