I'd recommend you look at the wonderful puppetdb-query: https://github.com/dalen/puppet-puppetdbquery I use it to extract hostnames from PuppetDB to populate various things. It's been a long time since I set this up but it should be as simple as installing the module and doing something like this: manifests/init.pp: $all_hosts = query_nodes('kernel="Linux"') file { 'fqdns.txt': content => template('test/fqdns.erb'), ensure => file, path => '/foo/bar/fqdns', } templates/fqdns.erb: <%- all_hosts.each do |fqdn| -%> <%= fqdn %> <%- end -%> Hope this helps!
