    is there any way we can check the heartbeat of puppet agents?

    and if agent is down can puppet try to bring up the server.


It may be a bit primitive, but I've been using crontab to "manually" run
the puppet agent.

I use the fqdn_rand() function to pick a number between 1-30, then set a
crontab with that minute, and that minute+30, as the times to run.  Does
a nice job of distributing the agent load across my enterprise.

  $r1 = fqdn_rand(30)
  $r2 = $r1 + 30

  cron { 'puppet-agent':
    ensure  => present,
    user    => root,
    minute  => [$r1, $r2],
    environment => 'MAILTO=""',
    command => "/usr/bin/puppet agent --test --environment
$puppetEnvironment",
  }

I have something similar to this, but instead of running the agent in onetime mode, I start the daemon if it is not running. The command I run in the cron is:

/etc/init.d/puppet status > /dev/null 2>&1 || /etc/init.d/puppet start
