Christophe, I would suggest not using Puppet or Chef to pass data around constantly that isn't going to be used by your actual code. Instead, you might want to set up a proper SNMP infrastructure such that you can get all of the information that you want and poll your network devices, etc... with the same mechanisms.
AFAIK, all of the information that you've asked about is natively hooked into SNMP in most modern operating systems and relatively easily enabled for collection.
