[chef] Re: Where to find the most updated node state/attributes on the node?

chef dashboard, uses a report handler which lets you browser through updated elements, etc.

since the chef client run is pull mechanism, you can used the expected last run time and compare it with  actual last successful  run (available in couch in epoch) to raise an alert.

In the Chef-Server Web UI I can easily find the node's state, but on

Any local cache?

Thanks.
