NAME
cf-monitord - cfengine’s monitoring agent
SYNOPSIS:
cf-monitord [options]
DESCRIPTION:
The monitoring agent is a machine-learning, sampling daemon which
learns the normal state of the current host and classifies new
observations in terms of the patterns formed by previous ones. The data
are made available to and read by cf-agent for classification of
responses to anomalous states. cfengine is a self-healing
configuration and change management based system. You can think of
cfengine as a very high level language, much higher level than Perl or
shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance can result
in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions of many
hundreds offiles being set. The idea of cfengine is to create a one or
more sets of configuration files which willclassify and describe the
setup of every host in a network.
