No hosts show up under the 'Hosts -> All Hosts' panel on katello host

Support

Hi all.

I've setup a new katello host for testing in our environment. There are a
couple of Products added, and repos assigned; syncing the repos, and other
functionality appears to be working fine.

I have a test host added using the following command: puppet agent -t -d
–server <katello.host>

I see the host successfully connecting, and sending facts in the foreman
production.log, and I see the host entry in the database. However, when I
browse to the 'All Hosts' page on the web portal, nothing shows up. If I
look under the Hosts > Operating Systems, or Hosts > Architecture page, I
see a '2' under the Hosts column (the katello host itself, and my test VM,
I assume). Is there any other log that I can check to see if there's an
error? I do not see any errors being logged to the foreman logs.

From production.log:

Check your Organization / Location :slight_smile:

You can set default ones under Administer --> Settings

I've had the same question, still have more or less.
Found out about the above by playing around in the webui but was also
wondering whether there is some documentation or video demo that lists
what you should do once you have run katello-installer.
So what are the next standaard things one should do to get something
useful out of the empty shell that is at that moment.
Some things are related or need to be done before others but you'll only
find out about it after it has gone belly up :frowning:
(Stateless/snapshot are my friend but time is my enemy)

Regards,

Joop

PS:
Willing to do a write up about what todo and in which order.
