I use foreman dashboard* :) it provides me an overview of all hosts in their latest status - e.g. all OK, Active(puppet did something), Error (puppet reported an error, or out of sync (puppet is not running).
and of course you can get the host list when you click on each of the statuses. additionally, Foreman sends me a summarized email, e.g. all hosts and their total changes errors etc (with links to each report if you are interested in the details). cheers, Ohad [1] http://theforeman.org/wiki/foreman/Screenshots#Dashboard On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Sukh Khehra <skhe...@proofpoint.com>wrote: > Hi, > > > > I was wondering what people out there are doing to monitor puppetd in large > environments.
