Would you mind posting your monitrc for your apps and your /etc/monitrc if
they are different?  Properly sanitized of course :-)

For what it is worth, I do monitor puppet (well puppetmasterd) on a
particular host and it works quite well.  Tomorrow, if it'd help any, I'll
filter mine back to this list.
