[chef] running chef in Audit mode & and getting values of parameters?

["Bhavna Agrawal" < >]

We need to run chef in "checking mode" first for our project
- which is either "why-run" or "audit-only" modes.
We are inclined towards "audit-only" mode because there is no
"node save" at the end of "why run" run. 

So for the audit mode - we would like to get access to a number of variables
in the environment when the test fails. To this end, we implemented an
event handler that gets activated when audit failure happens. The event
we use is:
control_example_failure(control_group_name, example_data, error)

Here is the control group we are using for audit:
control_group "audit service running" do
control "ntp audit" do
it "should be running" do
newService = "ntp2" #Variables we defined.
stats = "ntpstats"
expect(service("ntpd")).to be_running
end
end
end

Here is what we found in the "example_data" structure:
{:name=>"should be running",
:desc=>"audit service running ntp audit should be running",
:resource_type=>nil, :resource_name=>nil,
:context=>["ntp audit"],
:line_number=>14
} 

Is there a way for us to access any of the internal variables like "newService"
and "stats" from the example_data, or any other way from Audit
results? As the output of audit - we would like to get values of other
relevant variables within the control group. Thank you.
