I've four different environment and I've setup four foreman web console.
How do I integrated all in one? What is the best way to do that. Is it good
to have single puppet master instead because my nodes will be not more than
1500 in total including all four environment? How much a single puppet
master can handle? Ideas
You have a lot of questions there, let's split thatup a bit…

Foreman is designed to handle many different networks and
configurations simultaneously. Simply add a foreman-proxy to each
master and register them in the Foreman UI, and you'll be able to
select which master to use when creating a new host in Foreman.

The decision about using one or many masters is solely a
business-logic decision - there are good technical reasons for doing
it either way. Only you can decide what the right solution for you is.
As said above, from Foreman's perspective, it doesn't matter if you
have one or many.

That's an age-old question, and much like the old question "how long
is a piece of string?" it doesn't really have a single answer. The
capacity of your puppetmaster depends on many factors, including
number of cpus, amount of ram, disk speed, exisitng load, manifest
complexity, and much more. You'll have to benchmark your hardware to
make a guess at the upper limit.

one, I cannot see the hosts of all puppet masters on single console. Is
there any way to make it possible? I've been trying to do so many things
lately. I have 4 PM for four environment and I'm trying to make it more
redundant plus put all of them in a single console if possible. Any ideas,
thanks in advance

I am in a similar situation just starting out with Puppet, and have 2
puppet environments, each running 4 masters. so should i add the
foreman-proxy to each of the 8 masters? what would be the best way to start
reading about such a configuration for a newbie?
