It's already in the ENC data that Foreman sends to Puppet (assuming the host is in the hostgroup in question). When the ENC YAML is compiled, Foreman will parse the parameters from least specific to most specific, overriding ones with the same name as it goes. So if your hostgroup has "class foo -> parameter bar = quux" you should see that on your host directly (check the YAML button on the host page). But if the host has "class foo -> parameter bar = qaaz" then you'll see that instead. The exact hierarchy is listed in the manual, see: https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.15/#4.2.3Parameters You don't actually say *where* you're trying to consume this data though. I assume you're wanting it in Puppet, which should work out of the box - anything in the ENC is passed to Puppet and should be used directly. If you want to access it in templates, you can use "<%= host_enc %>" (via http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/ TemplateWriting#Functions-and-macros), and from some other place, there is an API call to get the host's ENC data (GET /api/hosts/:id/enc) If want to access data for other hosts / hostgroups in Puppet manifests, there are ways - but for brevity I'll not go into to that yet. If that's what you're actually looking for, shout out :) Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
