Do you mean it does not send reports when you manually trigger the client to perform a run, or that it does not send reports on a regular schedule? The latter is to be expected, since the whole point of --no-client is that the agent does not perform any automated runs in the first place (so there's nothing to report on). On the other hand, if the agent is configured to send reports but does not do so when it actually performs a run, then I would account that a bug. If that's the case then I recommend you file a ticket. > Do I need to use a crontab for reports or I have to change some parameters > in puppet.conf? > > If you want agent reports on a regular schedule then you need to perform runs on a regular schedule. If you do not want these regularly-scheduled runs to change anything, then the agent processes performing them should use --noop. If you want to be able to trigger runs via the 'puppetrun' mechanism (which is what I think foreman does) then you must have an agent running in daemon mode and listening for network requests to perform runs. For those triggered runs to actually apply any changes, the agent processes performing them must *not* use --noop. To the best of my knowledge and expectation, you cannot get both --noop and standard behavior from the same agent process, therefore you need separate processes if you want both types of behavior on the same node. Your best bet in that case would be to perform the --noop runs via an external scheduler, such as cron (though there are other alternatives). (So that's a long-winded "yes".) Do note that if you try to trigger a manual run while an automated --noop run is in progress then the manual run will be blocked (but the agent should recover gracefully).
