smart_proxy_request_forwarder

A plugin into Foreman's Smart Proxy to forward config reports and facts from external configuration servers such as Puppet or Salt masters to Foreman.

Public API

POST /request_forwarder/hosts/facts

Both API endpoints are forwarded directly to Foreman without further parameter check.

cat > bundler.d/smart_proxy_request_forwarder.local.rb <<EOF
gem 'smart_proxy_request_forwarder', path: '../smart_proxy_request_forwarder'
END

Install the gems

bundle install

Configure smart_proxy_request_forwarder as usual

cat > config/settings.d/request_forwarder.yml <<EOF
