No idea on when this is gonna be open sourced (I keep asking), and
didn't test the feature.

However, foreman do support reporting from ansible, IIRC.

You can get the list of server from foreman since a long time, you can
store result in foreman, and I am quite sure that would be trivial to
store facts in foreman. There was a few demo during fosdem and cfgmgmt
camp, but I didn't listened as closely as I should (due to breakage and
sysadmin stuff during the talk)

See http://cfgmgmtcamp.eu/schedule/speakers/DanielLobatoGarcia.html so
maybe someone can contact him so he can tell the state of the art
regarding integration ?
