Do we have an option to load checks/asset/handler definitions from YAML/JSON in sensu puppet ?

For example: The way the implementation is done in Sensu puppet for a check is as below:

sensu\_check { ‘check\_cpu’:  
ensure =\> ‘present’,  
labels =\> {  
‘contacts’ =\> ‘dev, ops’,  
},  
command =\> ‘check-cpu.rb -w 75 -c 90’,  
handlers =\> [‘email’],  
interval =\> 30,  
publish =\> true,  
subscriptions =\> [‘linux’],  
runtime\_assets =\> [‘sensu-plugins-cpu-checks’,‘sensu-ruby-runtime’],  
}

However, when we have all the checks/handlers converted from sensu-core to sensugo format using the translator plugin, I should be able to register them as above, but from the YAML/JSON files that got generated.

Is it something that can be done in puppet to load the definitions alone from YAML/JSON and rest use the code from puppet.
