For the next major Puppet version, code-named Telly, we have some changes coming. This is the first in a series of emails around these changes and may require some input from the community.
For Telly, the nagios types will be moved into a module. This allows them to be iterated on in isolation from the rest of Puppet's core release cycle and process. In the future we have plans to move several other types into modules that can be individually maintained, improved, tested and used. The module for Nagios will be available on the Forge. The upgrade path is the thing we need some feedback about. The basic steps to upgrade would be to setup a Telly master, and then install the Nagios module via the Puppet Module Tool, which ships integrated with 2.7.13+ and Telly. The only caveat with this is that if, in the past, you were relying on the Nagios types and forget to install that module (or are unable to for some reason), you would get a failure. The best proposal we could come up with was to have the platform team add some code that lets the user know that the Nagios types have moved. This basically moves this into a 'fail-well' state. We'll try to provide the best information possible to the end-user about what is going on. Is that an acceptable path moving forward? Comments and discussion welcome.
