If you are using foreman, its very easy to query the last puppet report state, e.g. curl -k -u $user:$pass https://foreman/hosts/`hostname -f`/reports/last?format=json |prettify_json.rb { "report": { "reported_at": "2011-10-10T13:03:02Z", "metrics": { "time": { "group": 0.001799, "class": 0.002389, "config_retrieval": 2.4686119556427, "cron": 0.00056, "schedule": 0.002556, "service": 0.702501, "yumrepo": 0.081921, "total": 4.6954209556427, "mailalias": 0.000351, "package": 0.012924, "exec": 0.336481, "file": 1.079741, "filebucket": 0.000226, "user": 0.00536 }, "events": { "total": 0 }, "resources": { "total": 212 }, "changes": { "total": 0 } }, "id": 269755, "summary": "Success", "host": "super.tlv.redhat.com", "logs": [ ], "status": { "failed": 0, "restarted": 0, "applied": 0, "skipped": 0, "failed_restarts": 0 } } } Ohad > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
