Thanks for the reply. You've answered my question. I'll post back if I need anymore help.

Re: [Puppet Users] Foreman and Puppet managing templates question
Foreman does replace nodes.pp. It acts as an 'ENC', the external node classifier. We'd need more details on what you're doing with templates in Puppet and nodes.pp to really answer this question. Are you thinking in terms of how you'd put variables into nodes directly with Foreman? There's space in the host page in Foreman for adding variables, under "Parameters" if you want to add them directly. A better approach to this is to look into Hiera, where you build a hierarchal data store that relies on various facts to provide the appropriate contents to variables to then consume in erb templates. Ideally you'd find ways to not have node specific information, but if you did need it you'd add $::fqdn to your hiera hierarchy and then add nodename.yaml files for each node where you listed out all the variables. This has the big benefit of remaining version controlled, unlike parameter entries in Foreman. As I said earlier, if you give some use cases we can probably explain this all a little better to you.

[Puppet Users] Foreman and Puppet managing templates question
Hi, I have just started to use Foreman 1.1. I have been using Puppet for a while and have some custom modules and ones that have been dragged down from git etc. I am using nodes.pp in Puppet to assign classes and template entries to hosts. So is Foreman meant to eliminate my need for a nodes.pp? How do I manage my erb templates in Puppet without a nodes.pp?
