I mentioned Pentaho (albeit spelled incorrectly) as an example, as I saw it mentioned a number of times online due to its open source community variant and full feature set. Thanks for the links, it appears that slurping data into Pentaho via puppetdb's REST API or otherwise is quite possible if enough time is put into it.
I'm still wondering if anyone is doing the type of BI I'm talking about today against puppetdb? If so, with what tools? I'm willing to try out a couple solutions, but if there are others doing this successfully, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.
