Smart Proxy for Puppet failed to load

Problem:
Error: Proxy provisioning.build.com has failed to load one or more features (Puppet), check /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log for configuration errors

Expected outcome:
features: change from ["BMC", "DHCP", "DNS", "Logs", "Puppet CA", "TFTP"] to ["BMC", "DHCP", "DNS", "Logs", "Puppet", "Puppet CA", "TFTP"] should succeed

Foreman and Proxy versions:

Other relevant data:

I am installing Foreman and its proxies with the puppet modules. If foreman_proxy::puppet: true, when I run puppet apply I get this error:

Error: Proxy provisioning.build.com has failed to load one or more features (Puppet), check /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log for configuration errors
Error: /Stage[main]/Foreman_proxy::Register/Foreman_smartproxy[provisioning.build.com]/features: change from ["BMC", "DHCP", "DNS", "Logs", "Puppet CA", "TFTP"] to ["BMC", "DHCP", "DNS", "Logs", "Puppet", "Puppet CA", "TFTP"] failed: Proxy provisioning.build.com has failed to load one or more features (Puppet), check /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log for configuration errors

There are no errors in /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log.

Reading the proxy’s /vs/features endpoint looks correct.

Just giving this a bump to see if anyone has any ideas…

Fixed it. So for Foreman to use the Puppet Smart Proxy, Foreman needs the Puppet plugin and it won’t get that unless it is included in the manifest as it is not included by the Foreman manifest:

include foreman::plugin::puppet

Also needed are the settings in hiera (in my case I had the default but nothing was using it without the manifest):

foreman::plugin::puppet: {}

I am facing similar error.
I am installing smart proxy with puppet on system ‘proxy1’ but foreman server does not have ‘puppet’.
Where exactly did you add above puppet plugin? What’s the exact file path?
I am new to foreman.

Added puppet plugin to foreman server using below command. It works.

foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-puppet --enable-foreman-cli-puppet --enable-puppet
