Tetsu, can you elaborate on the concerns you've got for running chef-client as a daemon?

Hello,

You can use exception handler to get runtime exception on your recipes.

To monitor chef-client process, you can use god, which is a process monitor written in Ruby.

btw, running chef-client as a daemon is not good in some case. be careful with that.

Hi all,

 

We’re fairly new to chef and have been manually executing chef runs on one or many nodes.  We just made the move to run it as a service via the chef-client cookbook.

 

What’s the quickest way to make sure that we’re getting notified when there are problems during a chef run?  What’s the best way?

 

Thanks,

Paul
