I provided some posts about the health of Puppet agents some time ago. They might help too. The first one is found here: http://www.bernd-adamowicz.de/80/monitoring-puppet-part-1/. The others are linked.

Hi, > The reason I am interested in this information is that I would like to > have the puppet master tricker Nagios to send an alert. =) You can do it with a nagios check in at least 2 ways : - Check reported_at/updated_at fields in the nodes table of the dashboard database. - Check the state/last_run_summary.yaml date/content on each node I use the 2nd solution with nagios checks to detect when a puppet run has failed.
