Well I just did, so maybe I'm not understand what exactly are roles &
profiles, but I'm not fully convince.
If I stick with my example of
apache::vhost
if I create a profile like
define profile::myapachevhost ( <-- class don't do it because we can have
many vhost
$vhostname='my_super_website') <-- or from hiera
{
include ::apache
apache::vhost { ${vhostname} }
add_to_my_nagios_this_vhost {${vhostname}}
}
it should work. But how can I have all params in that profile ? Of course I
can use hiera but the problem is still the same. Other example, if on some
host I just want check through nagios the vhost answer, but on other I
want to check the server answer with a regexp, I need to add a parameters
to my profile. I'm going to end up with both all params of apache::vhost
and add_to_my_nagios_this_vhost params.
I agree with you apache is a little special because they got lots of
params, but we use apache a lots too.
Regards.
