Foreman engine plugin that exposes smart class parameter lookups for any host and class.

Warning: this was written as a proof of concept. It has no authentication and should not be used in a production environment.

The ENC YAML output that Foreman generates only provides parameters for classes that are included on the node through the host or hostgroup records. However any smart class parameter can be evaluated for a host, so this exposes an API to do that.

It's designed to be used with the foreman_data_binding Puppet module, which uses this API to resolve class parameters using the matchers configured in Foreman. It effectively works in the same way as the Hiera integration in Puppet 3.

Get the foreman_data_binding module from Puppet Forge or GitHub.

Include in your ~foreman/bundler.d/foreman_param_lookup.rb

gem 'foreman_param_lookup'

Or from git:

gem 'foreman_param_lookup', :git => "https://github.com/domcleal/foreman_param_lookup.git"

As Foreman user:

bundle install

To upgrade to newest version of the plugin:

bundle update foreman_param_lookup

Don't forget to install the Puppet module to use that functionality.

The URL requires the host (that will be used as context for the smart class parameter lookup) and the class. It'll return all parameters for the class in YAML format.

$ curl http://foreman/param_lookup?host=host.example.net&class=module::class
--- 
  module::class: 
    param1: value
    param2: "another value"
