Tool for generating demo data

I need to be able to give Puppet Enterprise demos with realistic data that mimics a medium to large size infrastructure. Currently, the benchmark tool built into the PuppetDB source repository successfully generates data, but it has issues.

The main PE console dashboard shows different data than Event Inspector
Fact mutation is done in a way that's nonsensicle from a user perspective. For example, kernel, ipaddress, and other fact values will be replaced with a GUID string, rather than values that make sense for that particular fact
The breadth of catalogs is limited to a basic Apache and PG installs. It would be nice to have catalogs, events, and facts for more types of roles and devices.
