NAME

       cf-monitord - cfengine's monitoring agent

SYNOPSIS:

        cf-monitord [options]

DESCRIPTION:

       The  monitoring agent is a machine-learning, sampling daemon which learns the normal state
       of the current host and classifies new observations in terms of  the  patterns  formed  by
       previous  ones.  The data are made available to and read by cf-agent for classification of
       responses to anomalous states.   cfengine  is  a  self-healing  configuration  and  change
       management  based  system.  You  can think of cfengine as a very high level language, much
       higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance can
       result in many hundreds of filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles
       being set. The idea of cfengine is to create a one or more  sets  of  configuration  files
       which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
