I use Puppet to watch and maintain the configuration of my systems to meet the requirements of automated Configuration Management.
I use Monit to watch my more time-critical parts of the system; usually services which I want to make sure are running. Monit usually runs in a 1 minute cycle and has a simple configuration. If you need to watch more intently, look at inotify which watches for file access, changes or other operations on the file system. Looking at your question; the puppet client runs as a process and checks in with the puppetmaster based on the interval defined. I have Monit running to make sure that if for any reason puppet process dies, it will be restarted immediately.
