Issue #4240 has been updated by Brian Gallew.

I think you are missing the point. When I start purchasing a new server platform (e.g. Dell Whizbang X32), I want to be able to have all the servers running on that platform collected together in a group. This is trivially easy to do. However, that group needs to be MANUALLY added to the Puppet config, in spite of the fact that a dozen hosts have already been configured to be members of that group. As things stand, that breaks the Nagios config, because Nagios won't auto-declare hostgroups either. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4240: nagios_hostgroups should be removed https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4240 Author: Brian Gallew Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: The nagios_hostgroups type is redundant. Hostgroups are declared as elements of nagios_hosts. It should be easy enough to generate the hostgroups by scanning through the hosts and collecting all the unique entries. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
