Hello,
I finally abandoned the idea of having a group-based sane-looking Nagios
configuration with puppet, because there are too many weirdnesses in
Naginator. And unfortunately I can't really bring any help with patches
since I don't write any ruby..
There are some great nagios modules out there which you could use, or
from which you could borrow ideas. Generally speaking, I see that they
tend to define services for each host and attach them directly to hosts.
It's big and clunky, but at least it works..
For example, in an sshd module, you would have something like:
@@nagios_service { "${fqdn}_ssh":
check_command => "check_ssh",
host_name => $fqdn,
}
The biggest problem I have right now is that purging nagios resources
doesn't seem to erase anything, so my config gets messed up from time to
time when nodes are taken out or things are moved around and I need to
manullay remove nagios config files and have puppet regenerate them :\
