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.

Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Can Puppet alert about dead nodes?

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.
