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 observa-
tions 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.B 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 hun-
dreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds
offiles being set. The idea of .B cfengine is to create a one or more
sets of configuration files which willclassify and describe the setup
of every host in a network.
