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 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 configu-
       ration files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
