[chef] RE: Re: Re: Best practice for measuring and monitoring chef-client runs?

[Prakash Palanisamy < >]

We use both email handler & Datadog handler. We were hit by a situation where there was a memory leak (with chef-client in daemon mode) which caused the handler also to fail without enough memory. We ended up fixing the memory leak and changed chef-client execution to task instead of service.

 

Thanks,

Prakash

We use an email handler to report runs; primarily filtered for failed runs. Crude, but it works.

What are people using to monitor and measure their chef-client runs?

 

I would like to monitor for when chef-client runs fail on a node.

 

It would be nice to measure chef-client run times.

 

Is it safe to assume people are using handlers for both of these? What are some popular ways to accomplish these goals? Thanks!
