Yep, you want a report/exception handler. I started the wiki page for
this feature earlier this week:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Exception+and+Report+Handlers

Also, I've been working on a handler paired with a simple sinatra app
that stores run history in redis. It's still pretty early going, but
you can find the source here:
https://github.com/danielsdeleo/nom_nom_nom Just a word of warning,
this hasn't been run in a production scenario anywhere, ever. I've
been meaning to set it up for all of our non-production environments
at opscode but I haven't had the time.

HTH,
Dan DeLeo
