A small script with few dependencies to check the status of puppet agent runs
It is tested as a sensu check plugin, but also compatible with nagios/icinga/... due to the similar exit codes
The requirements are just - they are automatically installed by pip and the rpm package:
argparse(command line argument parsing)yaml(to read the puppet state files)six(python 2 and 3 compatibility)
The package is easily available on pypi and can be just installed with pip, this also includes the command line script
$ pip install check-puppet-agent
Currently there are no prebuilt RPM packages provided, but you can built them by yourself with some simple commands
$ git clone git://github.com/wywygmbh/check-puppet-agent.git
$ cd check-puppet-agent
$ python setup.py bdist_rpm
Note: The script is to run as puppet user or root, otherwise it is not able to read the required files
