how to send facts¶
- Foreman reports need to be sent to /api/hosts/facts
- Following headers needs to be present:
"Accept: application/json,version=2" "Content-Type: application/json"
facts JSON format¶
{
"name" : "fqdn.example.com",
"certname" : "optional.certname.for.this.host",
"facts" : {
"fact1" : "value",
"fact2" : "value",
"fact2::nested::fact" : "value",
"_timestamp" : "2013-10-18 07:47:45 +0000",
"_type" : "puppet",
"operatingsystem" : "Debian",
"operatingsystemrelease" : "7.0"
}
}
Note that _timestamp, operatingsystem and operatingsystemrelease are mandatory. Certname is optional, but if provided it will be preferred over name to identify the host object in the db. _type identifies source of fact, currently only puppet is supported by Foreman core and is also a default value if unspecified. If you want to add another fact type, you can register your importer class in FactImporter.register_fact_importer. For more info and example see https://github.com/ares/foreman_chef
