[Puppet Users] The Foreman: Query facts from ENC PuppetDB?

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t
really
utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in
replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB
doesn''t yet do
anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into
setting up a separate Foreman server.

I saw the script mentioned in the manual that''s meant to be run as a
cron
job on the master, which should push facts to the Foreman, but is there a
way to do the reverse, and have the Foreman query the Master or PuppetDB
directly for facts?
