Found in 1.8.0; sorry, I hit the "enter" key too soon.

If you go back to the interfaces tab and click edit next to each interface, do any of them show errors there? It should assign errors to the individual interfaces, even if it isn't logging them.

I had rebuilt this host (actually moved the disk in from another one). The NICs in the database from the old machine are still there; and the new ones have duplicate names (e.g. br100, eth1, eth0.2, etc). My guess is that foreman's heartburn is with the duplicated names, since all the ones that are like that are "errored". I've deleted the Nics from the DB directly; unfortunately now the "name" field in the host record is blank and the database throws a nasty looking SQL error when I try to edit it.

Sorry for the spam; the blank hostname was because the managed flag was still set. I unset it, and the name came back in the box. After a puppet run, the interface list looks more reasonable; I can edit the host again.

If I understand correctly, it seems that virtual devices got different mac address and get reimported. We don't delete virtual devices that are missing in next fact import on purpose, because they might be just temporarily down (alias/vlans/bridges). Also we can't update the virtual device based on name only, if they have different mac they might be different devices that just turns up and down. So I think this is expected behaviour and not a bug?

OK, I can understand why the old names aren't removed, and this particular case (moving a hard drive from one machine to another) is uncommon. With unmanaged hosts, though, I think there should be a clearly visible way to reset the NICs, which there currently isn't. I understand that may not be feasible for 1.8.1, but maybe for a later release?
