I’ve been running foreman with puppet for several years, with excellent results, now, with a fresh install of foreman and puppet I’ve got into a very strange trouble. After install foreman and configure some custom made classes to my hosts everything is fine, but after a few weeks, hosts stops aplying new configurations for example, a parameter change, manifest or template changes.
I haven’t been able to see any error, both in client neither in server, puppetserver, foreman-proxy and foreman logs shows no error, client shows the tipical:
# /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent -t --server

Puppet YAML inside foreman is correct and shows the new configuration data, reports are fine, facts also correct. It’s just when I change any configuration in host, it doesn’t notice that it’s parameters, manifests or templates are changed.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
OS: Debian Linux 11
Foreman 3.2.0
puppetserver version: 6.19.0
puppet agent version: 6.25.1
Any help would be very appreciated, I really don’t know where to look to see what is causing this strange behaviour.
Many thanks in advance.
