Foreman Default Hostgroup Plugin

A quick plugin to set a default hostgroup on hosts which check-in via Puppet without a Hostgroup set.

Installation

See Foreman's plugin installation documentation.

Compatibility

| Foreman Version | Plugin Version | | ————— | ————–:| | <= 1.2 | 0.1.0 | | 1.3 | 1.0.1 | | 1.4 | 1.1.0 | | 1.5 | 2.0.1 | | 1.6 - 1.11 | 3.0.0 | | >= 1.12 | 4.0.0 | | >= 1.16 | 4.0.1 | | >= 1.16 | 5.0.0 |

Usage

The configuration is done inside foreman's plugin settings directory which is /etc/foreman/plugins/.

You can simply copy default_hostgroup.yaml.example and adjust it to fit your needs. The format is shown in the example. The simplest form would be:

---
:default_hostgroup:
  :facts_map:
    "Default":
      "hostname": ".*"

If you are ugrading from plugin version 2.0.1 or older the format of this file changes and you will need modify default_hostgroup.yaml.example to follow the format above.

Important Note: You have to restart foreman in order to apply changes in default_hostgroup.yaml!

There are also two more settings under Settings -> DefaultHostgroup

| Setting | Description | | ——- | ———– | | force_hostgroup_match | Setting this to true will perform matching even on hosts that already have a hostgroup set. Enabling this needs force_hostgroup_match_only_new to be false. Default: false | | force_hostgroup_match_only_new | Setting this to true will only perform matching when a host uploads its facts for the first time, i.e. after provisioning or when adding an existing puppetmaster and thus its nodes into foreman. Default: true |
