As adding support for mCollective is currently a work in progress [[ http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/1/wiki/MCollective_integration ]] and primarily focused around the smart-proxy, this how to can change at any time.

h2. Mcollective, Foreman and Puppet PE

As puppet PE comes with mcollective it's fairly easy to make it work with the foreman smart proxy. Sam Kottler wrote a patch (https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy/pull/58/files) to integrate mcollective and foreman-proxy.

I assume you have followed the guide [[  passenger on Puppet PE and use foreman as an ENC and reporting engine ]]. If so you need to replace, create and edit the following files: 
10 1 Laurent Domb
11
<pre>
12
/usr/share/foreman-proxy/config/settings.yml 
13
/usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/proxy/puppet.rb
14
/usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/proxy/puppet/runner.rb
15
/usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/puppet_api.rb
16
</pre>
17
18
In /usr/share/foreman-proxy/config/settings add the following line after the puppet management entry:
19
20
<pre>
21
# enable MCollective integration
22
:mcollective: false
23
</pre>
24
25 2 Laurent Domb
Now your puppet pe / foreman installation is ready for a puppet run via foreman host page. 
26
27 1 Laurent Domb
Then replace puppet.rb and puppet_api.rb
28
<pre>
29
# rm -f /usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/proxy/puppet.rb
30
# cd /usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/proxy/
31
# wget https://raw.github.com/skottler/smart-proxy/2a7b5fbfcdb3a0e9a4b22d46a09d4bfa2aa0f765/lib/proxy/puppet.rb
32
# rm -f /usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/puppet_api.rb
33
# cd /usr/share/foreman-proxy/lib/
34
# wget https://raw.github.com/skottler/smart-proxy/2a7b5fbfcdb3a0e9a4b22d46a09d4bfa2aa0f765/lib/puppet_api.rb

The 4th script runner.rb needs a little bit more attention as puppet pe 2.7.2 does not use the mcollective agent puppet. It uses puppetd. Also to be able to query the hosts, all the mcollective commands need to be running in the peadmin user environment.
