It seems that exported resources only cover resources, not variables,
which would be what I may want here
In my case, I am not using the builtin puppet nagios types (I am using
exported resources to create the host entries), but for each host I need
to customise those files based on classes to which the host belongs.
Similarly with my bacula class, I need to add additional directories to
the generated file based on the classes to which a host belongs, but the
bacula client File resource is only realized on the storage node for
that particular client.

They also cover the Nagios issue.

Betreff: [Puppet Users] Export variables into other classes
Hi all
I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way
to do it
I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc)
I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each
host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it
another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would
be used by my bacula and nagios classes).
As an example, my bacula template for a client currently has:
FileSet {
Name = "FileSet-<%= hostname %>"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
}
<% backup_include.split(/, */).each do |file| -%> File =<%= file
%>
<% end -%>
# INC =<%= backup_include %>
}
Exclude {
File = /sys
File = /proc
File = /var/tmp
<% backup_exclude.split(/, */).each do |file| -%> File =<%=
file %>
<% end -%>
}
}
I would like the backup_include to automatically include /var/www if
the host is an apache server (for example), and I would like those
directories to be defined in the apache class (not the bacula class)
Any clever ways of achieving this?
