Puppet users - Mar 2013 - load puppet report from file

This is more of a ruby programming question I think but here goes.

I would like to load a report from a file for some processing that does not 
happen on the puppet master:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require ''yaml''
require ''puppet''

report =
YAML::load(File.open(''/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml'',
''r''))

Puppet::Reports.register_report(:myreport) do
  def process
    if self.status == ''failed''
      msg = "failed puppet run for #{self.host} #{self.status}"
    else
      msg = "puppet run for #{self.host} #{self.status}"
    end
  end
end

I am not sure that using the register report method is the proper way to go 
as this is how you do custom reporting from the master.  I have been 
looking around in the puppet code for a way to get the report yaml into the 
puppet reports class.  What is the class and method that I cannot find?

Hi,

disclaimer: I know next to nothing about ruby, and have not dabbled in
many parts of the puppet code base. However :-)

Since you YAML::loaded the serialized object, in your report variable is
a perfectly fine instance of Puppet::Reports, for you to inspect and
deal with as you please.
What more would you like the puppet code to do with that?

Cheers,
Felix
