I've always hated the documentation of Puppet's nagios_* resource types. It is good for showing the properties defined for each type, but nearly useless for conveying how to use them. As a result, I *don't* use them, but I nevertheless have two guesses about what may be going on: 1. Puppet is filtering the declared contactgroups to remove groups that are not defined in the target file. That would probably happen as-of the time it applies the nagios_contact resource, so if you are relying on Puppet also to manage the relevant contactgroups then the relative order matters. 2. Puppet expects a comma-delimited string of contact group names (as will appear in the target config file) rather than an array. Upon receiving an array, it somehow chooses just one of its elements. I'm leaning toward (1), since I'm having trouble guessing out how Puppet would end up selecting the second element of the array instead of the first or the stringification of the whole array.
