Puppet users - Nov 2013 - List of all Hiera data for a particular host/puppet run?

Quick question for the gurus out there, I have searched a bit but
haven''t
seen a topic that seems to fit...

I have a fairly nested Hiera hierarchy.  I was wondering if there was a way 
of displaying/outputing/reporting on all of the substitutions that have 
been made during a particular puppet run on a particular host.  I currently 
am stepping my way through the hierarchy pre-run, but I thought it would be 
kind of cool to be able to show for the >40 variables that hiera is looking 
up for this host in the 10 yamls, this is the specific list that was used 
in the run.

Any thoughts?

Knee-jerk-reaction response:

Make a shell script of hiera command line calls with the host name as an input
to the shell script.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Thought of that as I was typing up the
question.  I guess my goal is to try and use the info that is already in
the puppet run, and try to tease out this info into a separate report.  I
mean it is building this list somewhere in the catalog, I just don''t
know
enough about getting custom stuff out to know if it is worth diving in
deeper, or just take the .sh route.

This would be a pretty awesome feature. I think the hard part about
something like a script is that different hosts may have different classes
applied. You could also make a big ERB template with all the known
Hiera variables in it and just have it generate a file somewhere on your
filesystem. I''m not sure how helpful that is though.
