We don't have augeus conveniently at hand (and it doesn't have a lens anyhow);
building a parsed file provider is possible, I guess. That looks like quite a
lot of work for what I considered a conceptually simple problem though.
The munin.conf format is a more-or-less ini style file:
,----
| global_option one
| global_two two
|
| [node foo.bar]
| node_attribute one
| node_attribute two
`----
It doesn't look like the default parsers support that nicely, and the puppet
resource structure doesn't really favour it either: there is no nice way to
express the '[node foo.bar]' attributes in a single object.
So, I would be stuck creating a bunch of separate entities that would require
parsing and rewriting the content entirely for each node, right? Plus,
another one to rewrite the global configuration options.

Hmmm. I am curious why you think it is so ugly?
What I really want is access to a list of facts for hosts matching my
criteria:
for each host with munin-node installed:
emit one stanza containing the 'fqdn' fact
That doesn't seem conceptually challenging, at least to me. It seems, in
fact, like a quite reasonable use of the ability to introspect the entire
infrastructure within puppet in order to have cross-host awareness of
configuration.
