Is there a knife incantation that allows me to check the Last Check-In time of given (or all) nodes in my environment. (As opposed to the http:///status page in Open-Source Chef.)

Does knife status not work?

$ knife status
24 minutes ago, server-063.vm.example.com, server-063.vm.example.com, 192.168.1.188, ubuntu 10.04.
4 minutes ago, server-061.vm.example.com, server-061.vm.example.com, 192.168.1.184, ubuntu 10.04.

    note that the "time ago" is reflected by the last time the node successfully saved at the end of a chef client run. It does not report if the node had an unsuccessful chef run. Opscode is working on a reporting framework for the commercial products for this, and you can use the Report/Exception handler feature to send failed runs to another service such as email, hoptoad or others. – jtimberman Feb 18 '12 at 18:21
