I am not following, you do not need to gather this information for
mcollective to be aware of classes.
Puppet creates a file on every node that has a list of all the classes
on said node, on my machines this is in /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt
So I configure mcollective with:
classesfile = /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt
and now I can just do mco find -C /someclass/ and it does what you want
no need to try and turn those into a fact or anything like that.
And if I do 'mco inventory some.node' I get a section displayed like:
Configuration Management Classes:
apache apache::config
apache::install apache::logrotate
Does this method not work for you?
