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.
