As as an example for what I do in nodes.pp and what is hard for me to do is things like this:node "hlslinutil1.law.harvard.edu" { $ip = "10.241.209.118" $broadcast = "10.241.209.255" $netmask = "255.255.255.0" $network = "10.241.209.0" $gateway = "10.241.209.1" $hlsenvironment = "testing" # Must be before other modules! nagios::target{ "$fqdn": notification_period => "24x7" } include nagios defaultclass{$environment:} include commvault include puppetmaster include splunk4::client include foreman include foreman::passenger include mcollective::client include users::developers include users::cms filemounts::nfsmount { "/home": location => "10.241.209.97:/vol/nfspub/home", } filemounts::nfsmount { "/mnt/media": location => "10.241.209.96:/vol/media", } filemounts::nfsmount { "/srv/www": location => "10.241.209.97:/vol/nfsmaster/sun1www", } filemounts::nfsmount { "/mnt/cms": location => "10.241.209.97:/vol/nfspub/www/cms", } filemounts::nfsmount { "/mnt/testcms": location => "10.241.209.97:/vol/nfspub/www/testcms", } filemounts::nfsmount { "/share": location => "10.241.209.97:/vol/nfsmaster/share", } } The biggest issue for me is finding a way to represent these filemount::nfsmount defines. They are not easily determined by any automated source and I'm restricted to just putting them in place by hand. There are other defines above that can be converted into classes easily, but things like this that belong to a specific node represent a hassle. I either have to find a way to use variables and setup a loop over these variables, or make a giant class with all these seperated by if $hostname, or even a class per node. I just bring this up as an example of something difficult to do with the existing external node classifier system.
A simple first step would be to convert all nodes to classes and let the classifier just include $fqdn. Then you can start moving information bit by bit into the classifier and in the end you are left with the resources that really have to be per-node.
