Subject: Reporting promises not kept in Community Edition

I've been trying for a few days now to find a way in which to generate some
kind of report when promises are not kept. We only have around 10 machines that
we hope to deploy cfengine to, so our plan is to have reports of broken
promises emailed straight to us.
I don't particularly care what form these reports take, but I can't seem to
find a way to get a "promises not kept" report out of cf-report. I tried an
approach of assigning a class to reflect the promise outcome:
bundle agent testbundle {
files:
"testfile.txt"
classes => cdefine(
"mode_kept",
"mode_repaired",
"mode_failed"
);
reports:
mode_failed::
"promise failed";
mode_kept::
"promise kept";
mode_repaired::
"promise repaired";
}
body classes cdefine(k,r,f){
promise_kept => {canonify("${k}")};
promise_repaired => {canonify("${r}")};
repair_failed => {canonify("${f}")};
}
This works for a single promise, but the class persists so if I have a second
promise using the same structure, the report will be generated again.
Any suggestions on how I can get any sort of reporting of broken promises?
