Do you have a lot of boxes that perform the same function? You can use
the regex node syntax:
node /^db/ {
include db
}
Or device some other way of extracting function out of the machine
name. It might save you some time.
Otherwise if your machines are fairly unique using ENC to configure
that would be a good path if you are getting sick of updating your
nodes file. Dashboard and The Foreman are two good tools to look at
for this purpose.
Ideally you want your node entries to contain only vars and classes
for a switchover to ENC to work. Param classes aren't supported in
either tool yet I believe.
