The Host Info Report has been available in CFEngine Enterprise for some time, it will now be available to community users in CFEngine 3.6. The Host Info Report is a great way to get value immediately if you are using CFEngine for the first time.
So what does it do? The Host Info Report contains detailed information on the host that CFEngine is running on. Read on to learn more about how to enable and use the report.

You never know when the Zombie or Cloud Apocalypse is coming. It’s good to be able to locate those buried bodies quickly and easily. OK, enough bad jokes, but haven’t you ever looked at some CFEngine policy and wondered to yourself, exactly what does “delete => tidy” or some other body or bundle do?
I have. I even wrote a little perl script to locate the files that contained a specific body or bundle and then print out the single body or bundle. This past week my old script got some love. Ted Zlatanov and Bishwa Shrestha reworked it a bit so that it is no longer a hackjob, and it’s now included in contrib of the CFEngine core repository.
Another year has passed and we would like to take a moment to thank the community members for their contributions. From speaking at conferences, epic blog posts, community meet-ups, to support on the CFEngine help list and in the IRC channel, new and veteran users alike don’t have to look far to find inspiration or a helping hand. Each year we like to reflect on our many community contributors and honor those that have significantly enhanced the CFEngine Community. This year it is my great honor to announce this year’s CFEngine Champion Hall of Fame inductees.
