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.
