In such case you wouldn't need a smart proxy with puppet feature. Smart proxy can combine multiple features and it's up to its configuration, which are active. You can avoid going through smart proxy completely, but I'd recommend to have support for proxying to follow the usual flow of communication in Foreman world. > 2-from documentation i see that plugins of cfgmngt can receive data > (facts ) from client but is there any possibility to take the opposite > direction is the plugins capable to send data to clients . for example > when on foreman i would like to change the value of one parametres of > group of node : does the clients have the capability to get it and apply > the changes . Plugins can extend Foreman code entirely introducing completely new logic, so the answer is yes, you can do that. Depending on your use case, you might be interested in remote execution plugin that allows you to run any command on any target through SSH. If your devices provides REST API, you might have simple job templates (scripts to be executed) using curl and being run on smart proxies.
