can't see the Operating system Environment Model in the foreman of windows 2003

Description
I've found several issues after adding a new Windows host to Foreman 1.8.
The Windows test client is 2003 Server, running Puppet client 3.8.1.
I've tried installing Foreman in various test environments:
OS: centos 6.5 (minimal basic installation) + Foreman 1.8 (using foreman-installer): host is added, but
- no "Operating system", "Environment", "Model" info is shown in "Hosts"->"All hosts" dashboard for the Windows host
- no "Properties" is shown in host's detailed page (left click on the host) .
OS: centos 6.5 (minimal basic installation) + Foreman 1.8 (using foreman-installer):
The problem seems to be related to the way interfaces are handled in Foreman 1.8. In fact, there is an exception shown in /var/log/foreman/production.log
Files
- Category set to Facts
- Priority changed from Immediate to Normal
- translation missing: en.field_release deleted (

Please include the full section from production.log showing the fact uploads and exceptions you mentioned. Also confirm the precise version of Foreman from Administer > About, or package version.

Thanks, could you run "facter --json" on your Windows host and attach the output please? Something in the network data coming from the client is causing the issue.
As a temporary workaround, you can set ignore_puppet_facts_for_provisioning to true under Administer > Settings > Puppet, which won't try to import network interfaces anymore.
thank you ! now
after set ignore_puppet_facts_for_provisioning => true
I can see "Operating system", "Environment", "Model" info is shown in "Hosts"->"All hosts" dashboard for the Windows host.
but I still can't get the ip address in the host detail.
the attachment is the json output.
The problem is that the "interfaces" fact is empty, this should be a list of network connections. Could you try upgrading Facter perhaps?
how to update facter? the windows puppet agent is install with msi? or has any other way to solve？
I haven't a clue, but I'm only suggesting it as a first step to resolve the empty interfaces name. There's clearly a bug remaining in Foreman when it's blank, we should handle that without an error, but the underlying cause of lack of networking info is that it's blank.
You may want to use the Puppet docs, puppet-users list or #puppet IRC channel if you're unsure about upgrading.

thank you! I try to fix the facter get interface empty string problem.

Seems to have been a facter issue that was resolved. Closing, please feel free to reopen if issue still occurs.
