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.
