No uploader

Development

Trying to get chef-handler-foreman to work. At the end of a Chef converge,
it says

"ERROR: No uploader registered for foreman reporting, skipping facts upload"
"ERROR: No uploader registered for foreman reporting, skipping report
upload"

So the question is, how does one get and register an uploader?

Hello,

how did you install the handler? You have to modify /etc/chef/client.rb to
register it. See [1] for example how to do it

On the target (Chef) node, I ran "gem install chef_handler_foreman", then
edited /etc/chef/client.rb.

Not have any additional information, I just made that file look like the
documentation you linked to.

log_location STDOUT
chef_server_url "https://172.17.8.101:443"
validation_client_name "chef-validator"

Using default node name (fqdn)

require 'chef_handler_foreman'
foreman_server options :url => 'http://oz.local/foreman:8443'
foreman_facts_upload true
foreman_facts_whitelist ['lsb','network','cpu']
foreman_facts_blacklist ['kernel','counters','interfaces::sit0']
foreman_cache_file '/var/cache/chef_foreman_cache.md5'
foreman_reports_upload true
reports_log_level "notice"

I ran gem install chef_handler_foreman.

Then I edited /etc/chef/client.rb and inserted lines laid out in

Ok, so there's an error in the client.rb, the underscore is missing in
foreman_server_options (see below)

Thank you so much!

This reminds me to follow one of my rules: Never type in anything when you
can copy and paste.
