You should  try

                debug = true
                verbose = true

in your agent and/or master configurations. Some more hints on monitoring and 
on Nagios/Icinga checks are found here:

Betreff: [Puppet Users] Puppet logging

Hello all,
I am trying to write a script that will check logs for puppet errors to use in 
a nagios check. I am checking /var/log/messages (RHEL6) but when puppet runs on 
its 30 minute interval, nothing gets written to messages. I have also looked at 
/var/log/puppet/puppet.log but that does not seem to be consistent either:

[root@gm10v nagios]# tail /var/log/puppet/puppet.log
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in is_cms_system
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in lampp_ssl_sn2
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in vips_vip1_ip
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in gs_batch_itcl_mfb
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in is_ntp
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in 
gs_batch_getrates_lbma
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in is_clusterworker
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in cl_lvs_ssl1
Wed May 02 14:27:47 +0000 2012 Puppet (info): Loading facts in is_feedlistener
Wed May 02 14:27:47 [root@gm10v nagios]#

It does not seem to finish logging.

/var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml is not much better.

Where can I search for errors?

Thanks,
John
