Issue #4240 has been updated by Jason Antman.
I say close this. The Nagios docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectdefinitions.html#hostgroup) specify that the "hostgroup" type has 5 attributes other than name and list of members: * alias * hostgroup_members (other hostgroups that are members) * notes (note_string) * notes_url * action_url If the type is removed, it will be impossible to set these other attributes. What Brian seems to want is the sort of automatic requires logic that's present in files and their owning user/group, where if a hostgroup is specified in a nagios_host resource, it will be automatically created if it doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure that would require much deeper understanding of the relationships between resources than naginator currently has, but either way, it would *not* call for the removal of nagios_hostgroup. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4240: nagios_hostgroups should be removed https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4240#change-89225 * 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.
