Puppet doesn't capture the output of commands in a persistent way like it does with the `logoutput` parameter for the exec type. It does get written to a tempfile, but deleted soon after. However, you could easily modify lib/puppet/provider.rb, line 121 (in 2.7.x), to output the result of calling `execute(cmd)`. That call will return the combined stdout and stderr output as a string.
