Foreman and default configs for all nodes

[Miles Monteleone]

I'm having some issues applying a default set of modules to all of my nodes managed by Foreman. I have around 20 nodes split among 4 environments. I have a node {default...} stanza in site.pp, but due to the way puppet handles ENCs, nothing from this is applied to my nodes. I have looked at host groups in Foreman, but they don't seem to do what I want, since they are applied per-environment. Basically I just want to duplicate the behavior of node {default} in Foreman. I don't care which environment they are in. Any ideas?

the 'per environment' only means that you define the same host group and note that Foreman's host groups can be nested.

you could always get foreman data, and merge it with your own set of defaults (via your own simple enc script).

Does that mean there is currently not a way to do this straight in foreman?  This is something I would like also (as of yesterday :P).  I don't really want to script my own solution based off foreman data ... cause maybe my 'defaults' will change and I would love to have that tracked in foreman (kind of a single source of data) instead of the need to edit some script.

Thanks,

Jake
