Do you mean of the variable dumping or the post-game analysis?  The former 
is pretty simple, the latter is very highly localized... so I'll assume you 
meant the former.  :-)

The last thing (theoreticallly, anyway) my cfagent.conf does is import a 
file called cf.finish.  Cf.finish does some tidy tasks, including:

shellcommands:
        "/bin/echo '$(allclasses)' | cut -d= -f2- | tr ':' '\n' > 
/var/cfengine/log/classes.last"
