Tool using func/puppet to retrieve/store a set of information on all of our 
hosts.


Need to do:
- retrieve and store copies of info from all of our hosts
- diff changes from day to day and notify admins that changes
  have occurred and that they need to update admin-supplied info
- provide slots for all hosts that need to be filled in


Need to keep:
- host type (virt, hw)
- os/distro version
- for hw:
   - serial #
   - real location
   - colo location
   - rack/plug location
   - pdu locations and #'s
   - console access system and port #'s
   - if local mgmt (IMM, dell equiv) then ip/hostname/etc
   - warranty/date purchased/etc
   - brief hw layout (raid, ram, etc)
   - talking to iscsi?
- if virt instance:
   - virt host it lives on
   - virt type
   - how to access console (virt-manager or just virsh console)
   - where the disk it lives on lives
- host purpose (web server, bastion host, etc, etc)
- ports listening?
- mounted drives/partitions?



Need to automatically gather:
- host dependency info (iptables host connections, virt-host it lives on, etc)
- ip address(es)
- serial #'s, hw info
- local listening ports?
- system install date (query oldest installed pkg?)
- currently running kernel?
- mounted drives/partitions?   


Need to nag about when changes:
- when any of the following change:
 - ip
 - listening ports
 - mounted drives/partitions
 - serial #
 - virt host it lives on
 - virt type
 - os/distro/version
 - installed date of oldest pkg (basesystem/filesystem)
- then set an alert and nag about:
 - warranty (if any)
 - real location
 - colo location
 - rack/plug location
 - pdu locations and #'s
 - console access system and port #'s


How to nag:
- daily(?) nag of items that need to be filled out 
- one email for all hosts every day?


How to store:
- simple fs store of info - perhaps checked into git per-host to make diff's 
  trivial
- maybe make it all accessible in a web-accessible tree for easy browsing

How to update:
- script to allow updates to files per host. So you can do things like:
  "system-track hosts-glob warranty" and it pops up an editor which will modify
  all of those? I'm not sure about this bit.
