As luck would have it, PuppetDB's terminuses implement that same API. If you configure your Puppetmaster so that PuppetDB handles inventory service queries (this is covered in the installation docs), and point Dashboard at your Puppetmaster, things will Just Work. PuppetDB doesn't (yet) do report storage, so that will continue to work inside of Dashboard as it always has.
