Sorry, I meant I'm using Hiera as an ENC. I did see that PuppetDB has report storage, but without an easy way to use that data (short of creating my own interface utilizing queries to PuppetDB), it's not very useful yet. I figured Foreman would be a decent drop-in for reports.
I got a suggestion from someone else to take a look at creating a custom facts terminus and have the master sending facts directly to both Foreman and PuppetDB, but that means designing my own REST interface. Kind of daunting. Thanks for the tip though. I'll poke around foreman-users for some ideas.
