Yes, you can definitely rig puppet apply to send reports. The trick is that it works like a puppet master, not like a puppet agent, so you need to configure the nodes to talk directly to the dashboard server; they can't go through the puppet master. (It also means that by default, puppet apply has "reports = store" and puts its run reports on the local disk in the reportdir. I guess you could find those and manually import them into dashboard, if you felt like it.)
So, you need to set the following in each node's puppet.conf: # Use http report processor; don't bother storing reports on disk reports = http # Send reports to dashboard server reporturl = https://dashboard.example.com:3000/reports/upload And of course make sure the dashboard server's firewall and apache configs will allow it to accept upload requests from those nodes.
