Greetings,
I am working on getting Nagios implemented with Puppet so that when I add a
node to Puppet a Nagios configuration file is generated.
I can get nagios installed and configured on the server and the client with
no problems. Yet getting the client configuration file on to the server is
not happening. I did have it working at one point in time yet It seems that
I cannot get back to that configuration.
I am relying on notation using the @@ and <<||>> I found somewhere in the
documentation yet I did not find a proper discussion of exactly how it
works. I don't feel that I have a proper understanding of how it works.
What I understand is that by using the
@@name {}
I can load data into a "global object" that is accessible from any puppet
member. Who uses the
name <<||>>
Notation to call the data stored in that global object.
I believe that in the past I was able to view this information on my puppet
server with
ralsh nagios_host
It would give me a listing of what was stored in nagios_host. Now when I do
this I see nothing.
Here is a listing of what I understand as being a way to use this:
Is this correct?
-----------------
class nagios-server{
........ A bunch of other stuff ..........
file { "/etc/nagios/":
ensure => 'directory',
mode => 755,
owner => nagios,
group => nagios,
recurse => true;
}
Nagios_host <<|target == "/etc/nagios/nagios_hosts.${fqdn}.cfg"|>>
}
-----------------
class nagios-client {
@@nagios_host { $fqdn:
target => "/etc/nagios/nagios_hosts.${fqdn}.cfg",
ensure => present,
alias => $hostname,
address => $ipaddress,
use => "my-servers",
check_command => "check-host-alive",
max_check_attempts => 3,
hostgroups => "my-servers",
contact_groups => "admins",
}
........ A bunch of other stuff ..........
}
-----------------
Could someone please point me in the right direction to some documentation
that could help clarify this the use of the @@ and <<||>>?
I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Greg
