Puppet users - Sep 2010 - API: Get a list of servers that include a certain module/class

Hi there

Is there a possibility to get all servers via API that e.g. have
"import production" whereas production is a module/class.
I want to use that host list for doing "push deployments" - something
that needs to be live immediately.

I use Ruby to get stuff like this from the stored config DB. I''m sure 
with 2.6 you can do some funky cool stuff with the REST API though...

While this is available through stored config and the like, the solution we
settled on in-house was to use the Marionette Collective, which integrates
very nicely with Puppet.

It is written by R.I. Pienaar, who is quite active on these lists and
extremely helpful, and which provides many of these capabilities.

I got a private answer from R.I. Pienaar on that question:

he writes:

your only options are:

- use the yaml files in /var/lib/puppet put there by the master
- enable exported resources and query the db
- use something like foreman to manage your puppet infrastrcture, it
provides such a interface

in both cases you will probably need to build the query interface
yourself.

Not sure if it helps, but foreman does have a query interface -
