Acknowledged, Neil and Diego, thank you.
Dear Neil, LHS/RHS is used for setting attributes of a promise -- the
details of the promise that constrain its nature. You can have a
promise without LHS/RHS. For example:

Thank you, Seva. The reference manual states ifvarclass builds out a

CFEngine 3 has a new class predicate ifvarclass which is ANDed with
the normal class expression, and which is evaluated together with the

Jan,
Nagios seems to be unnecessary here. The Cfengine way is to write a
promise which updates vulnerability database and either simply
generates reports about changes found or applies updates. No extra
agent (like Nagios) is needed for this task.
