Yes, you can do what you want if you already have a puppet master
(server) in your puppet environment, but you may need configure or
install some add-ons.
All puppet installations include a tool called "facter". Facter gathers
various facts or data about your systems. The system can be configured
to sent this data back to the puppet server. Various puppet add-ons
offer the ability to create reports based on the data that was sent back
to the server. For you needs, you will likely need to write a custom fact.
Here are some links that might be helpful:
Info on facter:

How to do custom facts:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html
Puppet reporting:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/reporting.html
If you don't use a puppet server, then I think there are other options
for gathering the reporting data.
Sincerely,
Jason
P.S. My apologies to other posters, but I didn't see a clear answer to
the question.

You might be better off putting together a custom fact about this. Then
you can check fact(s) on the host(s) without trying to

How do I check content of a file in puppet?
ex: I want to see if "PermitRootLogin" is "no"
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file (RHEL). If it's "yes" i want to show it on compliance report.
For now
I don't want make any changes to the sshd_config file through puppet.
Here is something I have:
define line($file, $line, $ensure = 'present') {
$line = "PermitRootLogin no"
$file = "/etc/ssh/sshd_config"
case $ensure {
default : { err ( "unknown ensure value ${ensure}" ) }
present: {
warning/flag code:
unless => "/bin/grep '${line}' '${file}'"
}
}
}
