Puppet users, I am a puppet newbie and I have what I hope is a simple question.
What is puppet best practice for when you need to create configuration files or types based on information found in other nodes, essentially meta-configuration. So for a practical example my nodes have modules defined which say which services they run, and I would like this information to be used by the nagios host to create the nagios configuration files. We may also be used by MRTG in the future. The method that is deployed, again ideally, probably should not involve going around modifying each module. One approach I can think of is post-processing the puppet YAML config and then using that to spit out nagios/mrtg/anything else configuration files. Is this "best practice" or is there a more puppet way to achieve this? Is there examples somewhere on how to use the Nagios types effectively and automatically so that I do not repeat myself?
