Agreed with what Matthias said. Puppet's naginator stuff doesn't play
very well with non-Puppet nagios configurations. Essentially, you have
to pick one of:
- remove the default template from that file, and create it with Puppet
elsewhere
- put all of the contents of that file in Puppet
- totally remove all of the default object configuration, and have
Puppet do everything (what I do)
On the other hand, I don't use templates in Nagios anymore, I find them
to be redundant. I use a combination of defines and parameterized
classes (hiera would be good here too, though I don't use it) and have
Puppet write out complete definitions for hosts/services/etc without any
templates. I find that makes it much more clear to look at one resource
in Puppet and know what it does, and reduces the likelihood that a
template will get modified and have unintended consequences for objects
that use it.

I have a strange problem here. Most of my Nagios configuration are
from file {} directive, but I also need to modify a couple of Nagios'
default configuration. To do this, I use classes like this:
class nagios::gabarits {
nagios_host { 'linux-server':
use => 'generic-host',
[...]
target => '/etc/nagios/objects/templates.cfg',
ensure => present,
}
}
Problem is: it replace the content
of /etc/nagios/objects/templates.cfg with the new host definition,
but everything else in the file is gone!
I think that's the expected behaviour.
The proper fix is to also declare the other nagios resources you want
to see in that file.
That's more or less how I solved it in my own module :
https://github.com/thias/puppet-nagios/blob/master/manifests/server.pp#L550
(feel free to copy/paste those lines!)
Though I did "move" all of the resources to their default files and
stopped using the objects/templates.cfg file.
HTH,
Matthias
