Hi Phil, The monitoring module I wrote does this very well. It is on puppet forge if you want to have a look for some inspiration or install it and go from there :) http://forge.puppetlabs.com/rendhalver/monitoring The docs are pretty comprehensive now and explain how it all works.
I basically set it up so everything is abstracted and exported using stored configs and imported to the monitoring server set in a class variable I set with hiera. The monitoring_server variable accepts an array so setting multiple monitoring servers is easy. I haven't finished my nagios class yet because I recently switched to icinga but my monitoring module is completely agnostic.
