setting monitoring proxy without primary interface

[hboetes]

If I want to set the monitoring proxy for a host without primary interface defined in foreman I get this error:

Oops, we're sorry but something went wrong Host::Base#name= delegated to primary_interface.name=, but primary_interface is nil: #<Host::Managed id: 1, name: "tien", last_compile: nil, last_report: "2017-05-18 08:48:32", updated_at: "2017-05-18 08:48:40", created_at: "2017-05-11 12:51:43", root_pass: "$6$BxAr5S012fDJ$D5PMiJUKnglyy/3MJ.GSLoSNxBrrKcsc2A...", architecture_id: 1, operatingsystem_id: 1, environment_id: 1, ptable_id: nil, medium_id: nil, build: false, comment: "", disk: nil, installed_at: nil, model_id: 1, hostgroup_id: nil, owner_id: 3, owner_type: "User", enabled: true, puppet_ca_proxy_id: 1, managed: false, use_image: nil, image_file: nil, uuid: nil, compute_resource_id: nil, puppet_proxy_id: 1, certname: "tien.lhau.example.com", image_id: nil, organization_id: nil, location_id: nil, type: "Host::Managed", otp: nil, realm_id: nil, compute_profile_id: nil, provision_method: nil, grub_pass: "$6$BxAr5S012fDJ$D5PMiJUKnglyy/3MJ.GSLoSNxBrrKcsc2A...", global_status: 0, lookup_value_matcher: "fqdn=tien", pxe_loader: nil, monitoring_proxy_id: nil>

Of course I tried to set the primary interface after that, but that failed with exactly the same message, apart from the timestamps.

@hboetes : Thanks for the report. I'll check that out if I have a minute. Can you send me the complete strack trace from foreman's production.log?

@hboetes : I don't see, where this is related to the monitoring plugins or even smart proxy.

What are you trying to do here? Save a host with just a single interface that has managed, primary, provision deactivated?

@hboetes : I tried to reproduce this, this seems to be an issue in core. http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/19590
