Migrating Reports to the new format in Foreman 3.2+

[Ron_Lavi]

Just another heads up, the original post got updated,
currently due to capacity issues we stopped the new Host Reports plugin development:

@lzap

Attention: Development of the new Host Reports plugin was ceased, do not perform the migration. The migration note will be removed from Foreman 3.2 as a minor update. Sorry for inconvenience. If you have already migrated, perform the following steps to rollback:

Remove database tables of the plugin:

foreman-rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20220113064436
foreman-rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20211011141813
foreman-rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20210616133601
foreman-rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20210112183526

Uninstall the plugin:

# foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-host-reports --no-enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-reports

To reset Ansible report back to the original endpoint, run:

# foreman-installer --foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible-report-type foreman

Puppet configuration was done manually via puppet config set so it should have been overwritten by foreman-installer automatically by each run. Delete all Host Report Status and Widget objects:

# foreman-rake
> HostStatus::Status.where(type: "HostStatus::HostReportStatus").delete_all
> Widget.where("template LIKE 'host_reports%'").delete_all
> Host.unscoped.all.find_each { |h| h.refresh_statuses; h.refresh_global_status }

If you deleted the old reports already, you need to wait for new to come. Apologies for the trouble.

Update: We have decided to cease development of this plugin, we will remove the upgrade migration warning from the original Reports page as an update for 3.1. Please uninstall the plugin and reconfigure Foreman back to its original reports API endpoint using the instructions in this comment. If you have any problems, let us know in the comments below.
