In our department, we recently bought an install of HP's SIM agent -- it's some hacky configuration reporting and management platform that also facilitates firmware updates, etc. I don't care for it.
For one, it requires root logins, but it also has agents that report -- it also may have the ability to change the system. My boss is looking for information that is presented in a GUI and easily reportable. I'm thinking Facter is a good candidate here - we can tell it what version of software (SSH, etc), OS, etc. But, it's all command-line. I'm wondering if there is (or if someone is working on) a web-based GUI that can report these statistics (we don't need the overhead of something like puppet-dashboard). And for misc things, we can always write custom facts. Of course, this would only apply to systems that are running puppet. We have others that are not. I've seen some other hacks out there that do different types of reporting - if there's some better approach (open source), that would be great to know about.
