I mentioned Pentaho (albeit spelled incorrectly) as an example, as I saw it
mentioned a number of times online due to its open source community variant
and full feature set. Thanks for the links, it appears that slurping data
into Pentaho via puppetdb's REST API or otherwise is quite possible
I use puppetdb + puppetboard, which are very useful to see the current
state of my environment. Puppetboard also provides a very nice
representation of each agent's most recent reports. However, I want to take
it to the next level and create custom historical reports for business
intelligence

You absolutely want to build that against the puppetdb rest interface and
not by hitting postgres directly.
I'd be interested in getting at this data as well, if you find a way or
build a neat little application to do it.

Sorry, do you mean Pentaho?

Ryan,
What about something like this?

This page seems to mix in general actions with integration steps, but
there are more integration types available here:

And others:

Perhaps, you could combine the JSON input perhaps on the contents of a
'puppetdb export' tarball if you wanted to analyze the data from a
previous backup :-).
