check_puppetdb_node

check_puppetdb_node is a Nagios / Icinga plugin that allows you to check the agent/run status by querying PuppetDB. This is more robust and reliable than parsing the report YAML that the agent might store on disk.

This plugin requires:

• pypuppetdb

Installation

$ pip install check_puppetdb_node

$ pip install -e .

Usage
