Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: the relation of entropy to anomaly detection - what does entropy mean here? how does this work? Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21865,21873#msg-21873
Cfengine's monitoring is very different and superior to anything else I've seen. Cf notices when things are abnormal for that particular host. Normal monitoring solutions use centralized thresholds that are then manually changed for each exceptional host. For example a load of 5 or less might be considered normal for all hosts except some who are set higher. This is the traditional way. Cfengine does away with this. The monitor daemon statically analyzes the host and determines what is normal. No guessing. No generalizing. I would like to see more examples and studies of how Cfengine can be used in this way. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
