Hi Lorello, In the puppet source code at github you can see how the status is checked via upstart:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/service/upstart.rb The is a search for 'start' on the status output. So if ssh is running and status ssh gives the following output 'ssh start/running, process xxxxx' then puppet should know the service is running. Also you can check https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12773 since it has some more information on this as well.
