Issue #12387 has been updated by Peter Burkholder. Status changed from Rejected to Re-opened
I just ran into a similar issue. I think the language guide needs to be updated. At http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resources it states clearly: "The field before the colon is the resource’s title, which must be unique and can be used to refer to the resource in other parts of the Puppet configuration." and the rest of the document doesn't clarify the scoping issues with the $title variable. Is there a place in the docs that does make that clarification? ---------------------------------------- Bug #12387: nagios_service improperly resolving $title ? https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12387#change-54585 Author: Justin Honold Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Take, for example, the following snippet: nagios_service { 'check_ssh': use => 'my-service', check_command => 'check_ssh', hostgroup_name => 'my-hostgroup', service_description => "$title", } I would expect that to set the 'service_description' field to 'check_ssh'. Instead, it sets it to 'nagios::alerts', the name of the CLASS in which the declaration is contained.
