If your hosts do not appear to be reporting, and you're seeing some 
background tasks pending (top left in the puppet dashboard web gui), then 
you probably need to start the "delayed_job" tasks on your puppet dashboard 
server in order to process the reports.  Run this:

*env RAILS_ENV=production /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/delayed_job -p 
dashboard -n 4 -m start*

where -n 4 refers to the number of cores.  

I added this line to /etc/init.d/puppet-dashboard so it gets fired after 
dashboard starts, and so I don't forget to run it.  Not sure if this is the 
best method, but it works for me.

See 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html#starting-and-managing-delayed-job-workers.
