Shouldn't these say 13.1?

| If your Smart Proxy uses SSL, then the certs and key configured in the YAML should be the same ones it uses to talk to Foreman. If you're already using Puppet in Foreman, consult `/etc/puppet/foreman.yaml` or `/etc/puppet/node.rb` for those settings. | ||
|
|
||
| The :filecache: option makes foreman-node read the grains cache from files rather than using salt-run. | ||
|
|
||
| Please note this will only work if the master is not configured to use an external minion cache module. With salt's default configuration the filecache option works fine and should be used as it is much faster than getting the cache using salt-run. Please note that for this to work, the "msgpack" rubygem needs to be present. |

Is that something one has to do manually or is it brought in as a dependency when installing the rpm?

That I am not sure of. Currently, in our containerized foreman proxy we are installing it manually using gem install because there's no package available. @sbernhard commited something to foreman-packaging though adding the rubygem, but as of now, there's no dependency in the spec file yet.

| If your salt-master is configured to use a different data directory for cache, you can also set the :cachedir: option to the same directory you configured in the salt master configuration. |

| Uploading the salt reports is done by `/usr/sbin/upload-salt-reports` and is scheduled by a cron job running on the smart proxy. By default, reports are uploaded to Foreman once every 10 minutes from the Salt master's job cache. You may modify the smart_proxy_salt cron job to customize this by editing `/etc/cron.d/smart_proxy_salt`. | |||

Why? To prevent reports being duplicated?

Correct, I made it more clear. Thanks for your comments

What is the status here? |

Good question. I thought the "next" documentation system should be used. See https://docs.theforeman.org/3.1/Managing_Hosts/index-foreman-el.html#Using_Salt_for_Configuration_Management_managing-hosts |
