Hi,
You will get duplication if you declare a nagioshost_group with the same
name on more than one node...
I think you may be missing the point of nagios_hostgroup. It is for
declaring a hostgroup in nagios not setting the nagios hostgroup for a node.
I am guessing you are trying to add a node to a hostgroup?
You will need to add a hostgroups parameter to your nagios_host declaration
and set the hostgroup for the node there.
I am also reasonably sure you can have empty hostgroups in nagios...
if you want a kickstart there are a few monitoring modules on puppet forge.
(I wrote some that may help)
