Hi Chirag, knife status has the same problem than knife node show: it does not work "out of the box" when you are logged in on a node. You need to specify the client.rb config, the node name... etc.

The goal is to get the Chef data of the node you are currently logged in.

You could write a `knife exec` script to do what you want. If you're using fqdn node names, you can just shell out to `hostname --fqdn` to get the info and then set it with Chef::Config[:node_name] = output_of_hostname_cmd
