Thanks Tim. The problem is if you have multiple puppetmaster servers with different Puppet[:reportdir] on different local drives, thus for each node report yaml file, you would have to go to each puppetmaster server to retrieve the latest report file for that node, which is not ideal, as the copy is already stored in puppet dashboard, the problem is puppet dashboard would purge the file right away after loading it into database, and there's no way to retrieve that via API.
