Should I be able to use the built-in tag function...
define nagios::host($hostgroups) {
tag "environment:$environment"
nagios_host { "$name":
address => "$ipaddress_eth0",
contact_groups => "ops",
hostgroups => $hostgroups,
notify => Service["nagios"],
require => File["/etc/nagios/hosts"],
target => "/etc/nagios/hosts/$name.cfg",
use => "generic-host",
}
}
...with the goal of exporting @@nagios::host resources and collecting them by
tag?
node default {}
node a inherits default {
@@nagios::host { "$hostname": hostgroups => ["admin"] }
}
node b inherits default {
Nagios::Host<<| tag == "environment:$environment" |>>
}
This example code does not work unless I add a tag parameter to the
@@nagios::host resource in node a.
The other alternative is to call the tag function in a node but it seems the
tag is not inherited so rather than defining the tag in the default node, I'd
have to do so in every node. The lack of inheritance seems to be by design so
I'm fine using a define if I can get it to work.
I am led to believe by http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5239 that using a
tag is the accepted workaround to not being able to collect by environment
directly.
Thanks,
Richard
