Hi Mike, The 'console' is the Puppet Enterprise Console, a GUI that comes with Puppet Enterprise. It was derivative of the Puppet Dashboard, which is also a GUI based on rails. Everything specified in the console can be specified in your site.pp, or in a class, or even looked up with something like Hiera[1]. You might want to see the blog post on separating data from code to see what we mean --> http://bit.ly/puppetdata That post walks through the evolution of specifying parameter data to Puppet. Hope that helps!
