Greetings.

Does anybody know about a module that will read, process, and "pretty-print"
a Puppet site.pp (site manifest) ?

Something that will look at my various levels of nodes and profiles, and
propogate default values, and come up with a list of values at the
end?

I could probably create one, but I know that somebody else could create a
better one than I could.

Your demand or question has no sense.

You take the time to point out that one random website has never heard
of the software I'm using, and **I'm** the one who makes no sense.

I know nothing about puppet or .pp, but you could upload somewhere an 
"input" zip describe what you want as output

Isn't Puppet a Python based system? You might have more luck with python
tools.

This is one of the introductory pages on the Puppet manifest language:

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.8/lang_summary.html

"The Puppet language does not require much formal programming experience
and its syntax was inspired by the Nagios configuration file format."

Hmmm. Maybe the existing Nagios modules would help:

   https://metacpan.org/search?q=nagios+config&search_type=modules

I appreciate the offer and I plan to get back to you, but I'm not
in a position to work on this right now.
