If all you''re interested is external node classification (and not the report collection) then you might be able to get away with using something else, as long as you don''t mind certain pages blowing up. I haven''t actually tried this though, and I''m fairly certain that the main page is one of the ones that will blow up. -- Jacob Helwig
Actually, to be more specific, our nodes are stored in yaml files, and I''d like to keep them that way, and continue to have the yaml files as the source of truth, not a MySQL database. Puppet dashboard should read from those yaml files. Doug.

Oh. That''s a deal breaker. :( Makes the puppet dashboard unusable.

If you have an existing ENC that reads those YAML files you can keep that process intact and only use dashboard for reporting.

Shame, really. It would be nice if there was a tool that could translate any external node format.

When edits are made to the nodes, I want the edits to be made to the YAML files. Putting the node config into anything else removes the ability to do revision control, and importing the data info Foreman (I assume) obfuscates it to the point that I can''t easily view/edit the files any more.
