trying to create foreman role that can edit global parameters, but I am using a filter to only allow editing a single parameter. logging in as this user shows me the parameter only as expected, but when I click on it to edit I get CommonParameter Not Found , Please try to update your request. Not sure what permission is missing if any or if this is a bug

seems like a bug

anyone know what permission(s) are needed to allow editing global param?

houms: without testing (outside of having the roles screen open), I _think_ you need- 'common parameters' and the perms 'view_globals, create_globals, edit_globals, destroy_globals'

thanks SysAdm1n I have those parameters but still not allowing me

I also added 'parameters' permissions as well with edit_params, create_params, destroy_params

and I can see the params but when I try to do anything delete or eidt for example it gives me that commonparameter not found message

is anyone provisioning windows hosts via foreman?

houms: yes its a bug, want to file an issue?

will do stbenjam

stbenjam I seem to not be able to find the open new issue link

houms: you'd have to be logged in

i am

i see the other two issues I filed in the past

do not see where to open case

doh nevermind found it

bug filed, thanks stbenjam

At work we have a production Foreman system which has a number of hacks to interact with the database. This is a live working system.

Ihave rewritten the modules and am trying to introduce data coming from Hiera

What is the best way to do this with Foreman and to not affect any of the previous nodes?

boxrick1: hiera and foreman can be used both as data source for puppet

boxrick1: at thend all params will be merged and if there's a conflicting definition, the ENC (foreman in that case) will win

I am not quite sure where to start, really new to Hiera. At the moment, I only have one single profile pulling in data and its a really simple use case.

But I am getting pressure down my neck for this to go out. So I would at least like this one Hiera data source to go out

then you already got it :)

the point where you have foreman and hiera is puppet... there's no point at the moment to pull in stuff form hiera into foreman

Ultimately data will be versioned and controlled and I would like to start that process. It also provides a bit of freedom to move away from Foreman if needed.

I more just to know, it won't affect my previous nodes to use Hiera will it. Can I make it for a particular environment?

yes, you would need to restrict that in hiera and not parametrize anything in that env in foreman

Hmm how would I go about that?

check hiera docs :)

Okies

has anyone used the NewRelic Ruby agent with Foreman? I just added gem 'newrelic_rpm' to the Gemfile.in and restarted but ran into some errors. . . i'm guessing bundler isn't automatically called?

Hye guys, anything special I need to do to put foreman behind an ssl load balancer?

what is the .in extension for the Gemfile in Foreman?

Dominic: I'm trying to use your rkerberos gem and getting GSS-API errors with insufficient details for debugging :(

Dominic: I'm also managing to make the ruby runtime segfault :/

I suspect it's because I'm using an in-house compiled kerberos in /opt/krb5 and it's libraries are newer than krb5-devel

so, i've spun up a new foreman 1.9 node and i am attempting to import my puppet classes to no avail. Any idea why I am unable to import my puppet modules? I currently have 'modulepath' set to /etc/puppet/modules where my modules currently reside
