I rely on the lastseen database to validate whether or not cf-agent is
running across the farm. I cross-reference the cf3 output with a list
of hosts produced by our build system and diff out any stragglers for
manual inspection. I think the lastseen database expires hosts that
haven't been s
I monitor my cfengine systems in a couple of different ways.
1) Nagios port 5308 check to the policy servers
2) Nagios NRPE check_file_age to ensure the clients are updating properly
(see below)
3) Hourly cf-servd status check/fix
Nagios NRPE check_file_age check

We had a case where an early release cfengine (I think 3.0.2b1)
was running but not updating file on clients. I believe the problem
here is a cf-server that's horked and we'll be upgrading this soon
but it raised the question; How do you monitor cfengine? Obviously
cfengine shouldn't monitor itself

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm going to discuss the options with
my colleagues and our operations center that manages our Zenoss
configuration.

If the host is up and the CF policy is sufficiently robust then no serious
monitoring should be needed. A simple TCP port check would be
We just monitor the TCP port of cfengine servers with nagios.

This is a follow-on to my original thread about creating a Solaris SMF
service. Since I'm no longer doing that and have decided to let Zenoss
do that, I was curious about what others are doing along these lines. A
couple of things came to mind as I was mulling over how to do this.
