Hello James,
Yes, this help.
I just felt confused that 'host' report variable represents in fact
'certname' value.
That said, I'll have a look on PuppetDB, which I do not use for now.
Thanks,
Jean Baptiste

Hello,
I'm trying to build a custom report processor so that I can get puppet
metrics into Zabbix.
I found one here: https://github.com/thomasvandoren/puppet-zabbix which
basically works.
The problem I have is that report processor mostly use self.host as
hostname. But it represent certname in "puppet world".
I tried @hostname, but still get certname instead of hostname.
Is there any way to get the real hostname into report processor ?
As you're located on the master and all that gets passed to the report
processor is the the contents of the report this is a little tricky. Off
the top of my head you could use the self.host value to lookup the fact
values from the node, i.e. if you're using PuppetBD
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1/index.html) or the Inventory
Service (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/inventory_service.html).
Hope that helps!

James Turnbull
