*Note* You need Foreman 0.1-1 or newer to support Puppet Reports.

h2. Overview

Foreman uses a custom puppet reports (similar to tagmail or store) which simply upload the puppet report to Foreman.

This enables you to see the reports through the web interface in almost real time.

h2. Configuration

Ensure that the puppet clients has the following option in their puppet.conf:

<pre>

report = true

</pre>

Without it, no reports will be sent.

h3. puppetmaster

# copy *extras/puppet/foreman/files/foreman-report.rb* to your report directory - e.g. /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/reports/foreman.rb

# open the new file with your favorite editor

# edit the URL (unless you have a DNS alias for foreman already) to point to foreman.

# add this report in your puppetmaster reports - e.g, in your puppet.conf add:

<pre>reports=log, foreman</pre>

and restart your puppetmaster

You should start seeing reports coming in under the reports link.
