can dashboard and foreman be used at the same time?

[Hai Tao]

I wonder if I can use dashboard and foreman at the same time, and for
the same puppet master?

Thanks.

sure, just make sure you have both reports defined and that dashboard and foreman are running on different ports...

Yes, I have dashboard and foreman on my test Vm all set to use Puppet'd database.

I have been wondering the same thing but I have started using puppetdb.
Has anyone got foreman working with puppetdb?

AFAIK that is something they are working on. It won't be able to connect directly to the database (since puppetdb can use different backends) but it either can or soon will be able to talk to puppetdb using the API.

But I can't speak authoritatively on this though, as I do not yet have puppetdb up and running just yet.

I just switched from using Puppet Dashboard with PuppetDB 0.9 to using Foreman 1.0.0.   This is on CentOS 6.3.  I've been unable to get Foreman to work PuppetDB, so I had to revert to using the "old" way of storeconfigs without puppetdb. 

Perhaps I had something set up incorrectly, but I couldn't seem to get facts stored in puppetdb to be visible by Foreman with these settings in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:

[master]
  storeconfigs = true
  storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb

No helpful log messages.  Oh well, I'll see how the performance is with this new set up which is Foreman sharing a postgres DB with storedconfigs.  So far, Foreman is awesome and really responsive when run via Passenger on Apache.

From what I can tell, Foreman doesn't yet support PuppetDB, but it is something they are working on.  I would recommend that you setup Foreman as an ENC to gether your facts, which is what I do even though I don't actually use the ENV functionality.

Yeah I figured PuppetDB wasn't supported by Foreman yet, but thought I'd give it a try since I hadn't heard a firm yes or no on the subject.   I'm happy with the new setup so far with Foreman being the ENC.
