[Puppet Users] Puppet Reporting

I'd like to be able to load my puppet reports generated on my Puppet
production server onto my Puppet development server using dashboard, I
rsync the directory for my reports from the Puppet production host,
from /etc/puppet/reports, to the development server.

It doesn't appear that the development server picks up the reports to
be displayed in dashboard. Is there a way to get this to work? or is
there a better overall strategy to do puppet reporting when my
dashboard or reporting structure sits outside of production.

I appreciate any help or guidance on how others might be dealing with
this issue in reporting on Production host, thanks.
