Hey, In Puppet Enterprise, we have a cronjob that runs every 15 minutes that does a `facter --yaml` and redirects to a file on disk. This file is what MCollective reads for fact information. You could also add the --puppet flag that will use Puppet's $vardir for custom fact information. Puppet would then just ensure that the cronjob was installed. That would solve the problem of Puppet changing this file on every run.
As far as I'm aware, I don't believe there's a method of having the Dashboard ignore an event.
