While Foreman is free and open source, and the Foreman community does everything it can to support users, sometimes users cannot get to where they want to be without professional help. Foreman is a complex tool. To get started, you require a certain level of Linux sysadmin knowledge. On our Professional Services page, we keep a list of known vendors and consultants who work with Foreman. In this post, we hear from Kris Buytaert of inuits.eu, the organizer of ConfigMgmtCamp, one of the biggest events in the Foreman social calendar each (normal) year, and their history with the Foreman community.

Foreman Discovery is a powerful tool for provisioning new hardware.

Many of the facts we need are captured out of the box, but what happens when we need something a little more? This is where custom facts come into play.
