ForemanHdm

Browse hiera data for a given Host using HDM and the HDM smart proxy plugin.

Requirement

You must have a HDM installation running. If you are running with authentication enabled, you need an API user in HDM.

Installation

See How_to_Install_a_Plugin for how to install Foreman plugins

The most simple way is installing from packages (available with Foreman 3.6 and later)

RedHat: dnf install rubygem-foreman_hdm rubygem-smart_proxy_hdm

After installation you must initialize the database: foreman-rake db:migrate

The HDM Smart Proxy must be configured:

# /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/hdm.yml
# HDM Smart Proxy
:enabled: https
:hdm_url: 'http://<HDM IP>:<HDM Port>'
:hdm_user: '<HDM API User Email>'
:hdm_password: '<HDM API User Password>'

Next you must restart the smart-proxy: systemctl restart foreman-proxy

Usage

Go to Foreman and Refresh the Smart Proxy features.

Within the nodes or node groups you can now set the HDM Smart Proxy.

When you now select a node, you will see an HDM tab.
