Stuart,

You have *very* specific requirements here. In these situations, there
are generally three options:
1) find someone else who's done it and use theirs
2) learn how to do it yourself
3) pay someone else to do it
4) don't do it

You posted your question (which I assume you researched before posting,
and did not find an appropriate solution) and nobody has yet stepped
forward to say "I have that," though you have been given many examples,
some very detailed, and haven't given back any indication that you tried
them. If the prices that PL charges for consulting are too expensive,
and the same is true for hiring some random ruby coder, I think either
you (or someone at your company) need to learn ruby, or reassess how you
are using Puppet and your requirements. From your many previous posts,
it seems like you're asking things of puppet that are relatively uncommon.

There have been some very good responses in this thread, including the
(IMO) best, which is to use PuppetDB and its API, in which case you also
wouldn't be restricted to Ruby. What have you tried so far? What issues
do you have with the various options?

This list has over 6,600 members, and you alone are responsible for a
whopping 10% (yes, one in ten) of the posts in the last month. If you
feel that the responses you receive are not adequate, perhaps you should
be more judicious in how quickly you appeal to the community for an
answer, how much detail you give (specifically "I tried this <link to
source code> and seem to be experiencing this <very specific problem>"),
and give a better indication that you've actually tried the suggested
solutions, and what the results were.
