Description of problem:

While creating a new host group (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=970662) I noticed that Foreman was not providing the true reason as to why there was a failure. It would be great if we could be more verbose about these types of failures as well as bubble up a user friendly message to the user in the UI. All the logs show is a generic "Failed to save: " message and there's no indication in the UI as to what failed.
