Use the lastrun_update report handler that comes with 'knife-lastrun'.
It will store a chunk of info on each node object out on the chef
server, including success/failure, start time, end time, elapsed time,
resources updated, any exceptions if failure, etc.

See: https://github.com/jgoulah/knife-lastrun

I nominate this handler for "Most useful least known Chef code"
