Bug #2967

Foreman is randomly missing certain facts
Description
I have set up Foreman with ENC integration and pushing facts with the script at https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman/blob/master/templates/external_node.rb.erb . After activating this I could see that facts were coming in and I could query. We currently have 8 hosts running.
If I do a query for facts "name = puppetversion" 8 hosts and their values shows up. This seems to return the correct number of hosts all the time.
If I do a query for facts "name = memoryfree" it usually displays something between 4 and 6 hosts. Only rarely do I see 8 hosts. The number and which hosts that show up vary over time.
This behavior is consistent across two different deployments of Foreman I have. They are installed with yum on RHEL6 systems. I'm currently running on SQLite3. Anothe reporter (see mail thread below) is running Postgres.
Production log for foreman:
Started POST "/fact_values/create?format=yml" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-08-23 03:35:24 +0200
Processing by FactValuesController#create as YML
Parameters: {"facts"=>"[FILTERED]"}

The values seems to be missing in the database:
sqlite> select fact_values.* from fact_values inner join fact_names on fact_names.id=fact_values.fact_name_id where fact_names.name='memoryfree'; 16612|33.11 GB|17|8|2013-08-27 11:29:43.404051|2013-08-27 11:29:43.404051 16690|29.20 GB|17|7|2013-08-27 13:05:25.528203|2013-08-27 13:05:25.528203
Should give 8 entries.

Upgraded to 1.3.1 and replaced scripts according to instructions for the 1.3 release. I also switched to MySQL and still seeing the same behaviour. :)

Are you willing to try https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/975, I'm unable to reproduce the issue after this patch.

I can try that, but not quite sure how to do it. :) I'm running off rpm packages via yum (foreman-1.3.0-1.el6.noarch). What would be the best way to apply this patch and make rollback easy?
Anders,

this is already part of the 1.3.1 release, if you prefer to wait, I assume next Monday it would be released.

Alright, I'll wait and verify with the 1.3.1 release. :) Thanks.
