We do use puppet to configure the systems.  Problem is that there's an
institutional reluctance to run it in that way - it's done right now
as a "push" configuration.  So I would like to find something that can
validate in a read-only way and send alerts when things are a little
off.

While I'm at it, I'd also like something that can keep a database of
all of the packages installed on all of the servers and let me do
queries against it...  don't want to write it if there's already
something out there.
