Hello list.
I'm trying to keep track of cfengine execution time, in order to monitor
policy changes effect.
The easiest way seems to add start/stop messages in the logs.
If invocating cfagent from a cron task, it's quite simple, but doesn't
allow to discriminate between update and main phase:
1 * * * * logger "cfengine start"; cfagent; logger "cfengine stop"
If using cfexecd as a daemon, the following should work, and be usable
both for update and for main phase:
actionsequence = (
shellcommands.seq_start
....
shellcommands.seq_stop
)
shellcommands:
seq_start::
logger "cfengine start"
seq_stop
logger "cfengine stop"
Then a monitoring agent plugin could get timestamps from the logs, and
compute execution time.
But maybe they are better/easier ways to do it ? cfengine has a lot of
files under its state directory, but none seems to have the relevant
informations.
