We had a case where an early release cfengine (I think 3.0.2b1) was running but not updating file on clients. I believe the problem here is a cf-server that's horked and we'll be upgrading this soon but it raised the question; How do you monitor cfengine? Obviously cfengine shouldn't monitor itself. And from the above case, having Nagios check for client and server processes running is also insufficient. I'm thinking perhaps have cfengine create and push a timestamp file to all clients and have nagios check for presence/date of such files.
What are others doing? TIA
