Ah, so you want to wire an external database into Puppet, so that the
existing data can be used.

The answer is still ENC, although in your scenario, you will not use a
general solution with a web UI. Instead, you will need to write an ENC
script yourself, which will pluck the data from your own system, and
mold them into a format that is appropriate for the Puppet master.

See the documentation for the details:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html

As for MCollective - no, I don't believe that it will be very helpful in
getting your configuration data into Puppet.

HTH,
Felix
