Hi Greg,

we are using Foreman as ENC and are not just uploading facts and reports to 
it.
To allow multi-tenancy within the foreman we perform additional steps as 
part of the agent installation by submitting two custom facts, which are 
foreman_organization and environment. Foreman_organization is used so that 
a new server is assigned to the correct foreman organization, obviously, so 
that our project teams do not have to contact the foreman administrators 
when creating a new server. 
Both facts are perfectly working on all linux systems (RHEL/CentOS 5-7, 
Windows 2008 R2) and are correctly being transferred to Foreman, because 
they can be seen in the fact details of the host.

I attached two pictures. 
- The first one, the host view, is where you can see that the submitted 
facts are not shown/ are not useable for Foreman. I've highlighted the 
within Foreman manually assigned facts with a red frame.
- The second one, the fact details of this host, show's that in general the 
facts are submitted.

The question is, why is foreman not able to map the submitted facts to the 
overview and thereby to assign the server to the correct organization?


Thanks,
Robert
