Has anyone done any investigation into having a monitoring tool like Zenoss (which we use), Nagios, or OpenNMS watch for repairs? At the very least, centralizing at least some of Cfengine hosts' logs and using a log-watching tool like Swatch or Splunk would be a step in the right direction.
Team Cfengine: Is there any kind of roadmap for integration with such third-party monitoring tools?

If the MTA is out of action you'll get no notice. If the agent attempts repeated repairs repeated emails are sent. This can be very disheartening. As has been mentioned a monitoring and alerting system would be better for this. Something like OpenNMS can correlate events into a single alarm and escalate notification while avoiding the information storm than can come from 'dumb' notification services. -- Neil Watson Linux/UNIX Consultant http://watson-wilson.ca _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine This electronic communication and any attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information of DigitalGlobe, Inc.
