Description of problem: Make it possible to persist facts/reports when host is being rebuilt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Satellite version 6.1.3 Issue : For customer a software generates an kind of UUID when being installed. This UUID is used to connect to a third system which keeps track of the systems reporting in by the UUID and not by a hostname/DNS-name. The UUID can be gathered via a custom fact via puppet and also can be written by a given puppet module if the fact is available. Upon rebuilding a host, all reports and facts are being cleared, thus making it impossible to access a fact in order to rebuild the UUID in the conffile. Actual results: All reports and facts are cleared. Expected results: Make it possible to persist facts/reports when host is being rebuilt Additional info: Please check upstream bug links : http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/12337 Also seems related to http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/12244
Upstream bug component is Fact
