The stats class are appending to an array, which the template uses in
the define, so the stats class needs to be required rather than
include. I've done this and it appears to be working properly.
Only gotcha I had was that $mystat1 += ["processName"] didn't work - I
got a "unable to convert array to string error", but using $mystat1 +=
'processName' worked.
For me this takes away any variables I need to set at the node level
for stat collection, instead I can manage it all in a set of puppet
classes.
Thanks,
Matt
