you do not need to grep out anything, as I showed you there is a ruby API for accessing this data. If you use PuppetDB it will also be able to store this information and it has APIs for extracting these logs in a structured manner. API access is about as much as you can hope for I think. Your alternatives are to write a logger plugin for Puppet that outputs JSON, I've done this and it was not clear sailing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
