WebInterface vs Facts
Description
Hi,
I'have a physical host running RedHat, which facts seems OK.
However the field "Host operating System" in Host description from the WebUI is blank.
On the contrary, It works fine with Debian and Ubuntu hosts.
What facts does foreman use in order to define this information ?
Thanks.

How are you uploading your facts to foreman? are you using storeconfigs? are you using it as an ENC?

Hi Ohad,
We are using the storeconfig database, shared between Puppet and Foreman.
We also use the External nodes feature to upload reports from Puppetmaster to Foreman.
I'm really sorry to not giving you so many details...
If you think I should read some more documentation, I will be glad to do so.
Thanks a lot.
Sam
Notes :
foreman 0.3 tarball files.
we use Foreman through apache passenger

are you running foreman and puppet on the same machine?
While it has been fixed in the upcoming 0.4, if its not on the same host (and 0.3) then you would need to run the rake task puppet:migrate:populate_hosts.
if you are using 0.4, then under settings --> foreman settings there is the option to enable storeconfig fetching.

Yes we are running Foreman (0.3) and Puppet (2.6) on the same Host... because we thought have read that, installing them on 2 differents hosts wasn't operationnal yet.
Is there a working documentation about that ?
Nevertheless, thank you for the answer. We will give a look at foreman 0.4 when the release will be available.
