I’ve released version 0.4.9 of MCollective, it’s a bugfix/small feature release the only big thing is that I added a new agent called rpcutil that lets you get all sorts of information about the running collective.
You can for example find out a list of all the agents and all their meta data including versions etc, this will be great for documenting/auditing an infrastructure based on mcollective.
The mc-inventory script has been rewritten to use the new agent and now shows you some stats in addition to the nodes inventory when invoked:
