Foreman integration with Ansible. For now, it's just importing facts and not meant for general use.
Warning - this project hasn't been released yet, and might change significantly. Please don't use in production
Install foreman_ansible on your Foreman host. See the Foreman manual: installing plugin from gems
Deploy extras/foreman_callback.py as a callback on your Ansible installation. For instance, put in your ansible.cfg:
callback_plugins = ~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins/
bin_ansible_callbacks = True
And copy extras/foreman_callback.py from this repo to ~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins/. That's it!
Now, every time you run ansible -m setup $HOSTNAME, Ansible will automatically submit facts and a small report for $HOSTNAME to Foreman. See 'Extra information' below if you find any error.
In Foreman, you should add whatever Ansible hosts you want to submit facts from to the setting trusted_puppetmaster_hosts. Change it at Administer > Settings, Puppet tab.
If the Foreman setting 'create_new_host_when_facts_are_uploaded' is true, and $HOSTNAME doesn't exist in Foreman, it will autocreate that host in Foreman. If it already exists, it will update the facts.
Similarly, the Foreman setting 'ignore_puppet_facts_for_provisioning' is set to false, facts related to interfaces will update the interfaces of $HOSTNAME in Foreman.
The callback sends a POST request to /api/v2/hosts/facts with the format you can see in the API docs.
Facts must contain the output of ansible -m setup $HOSTNAME, plus a '_type' and '_timestamp' keys. You can see an example on test/fixtures/sample_facts.json in this repository.
After that request, you should have a host registered in Foreman with the Ansible facts. It takes into account some facter and ohai facts if these are available on the system as well.
