Hi folks, Dashboard doesn't (currently) use stored configs or existing reports. The README.markdown file in your Dashboard directory has instructions on using the included puppet_dashboard report processor with your puppetmasterd to send reports to the Dashboard. Please let me know if you run into any problems following them.
Your puppetmasterd must be able to speak to the Dashboard via HTTP and assumes that the Dashboard is available at "localhost" on port 3000 by default. You do not have to configure individual puppet clients.
