this is already included in chef 11, you have to install it separately if you are on chef 10.x

Health Inspector is an awesome tool for keeping your local repo and the server in sync.  It compares it all and looks at checksums so it's not just versions.

I'm wondering what you guys use to compare the versions of your local cookbooks to what is on the server and in a specific environment.  Seems like there should be a knife plugin for this, but I couldn't find one that does this.  The knife-env-diff plugin compares versions in two local env files, but I didn't see anything comparing local cookbook versions to env files or what's currently on the server.  Should be pretty easy to whip up a knife plugin for this, but I figured I'd ask before I bother writing one.

Thanks
