Is there any way to create the Nagios hostgroup only when the first (or at
least one) member of that hostgroup comes on line?
I tried with Puppet Storeconfigs: The client node exports the
nagios_hostgroup resource:
> @@nagios_hostgroup { 'cloud-app':
> alias => "Application Servers",}
>
>
and the server node collects it:
> Nagios_hostgroup <<| |>> { notify => Service['nagios'] }
>
>
It works for the first node but get "duplicate definition" error as soon as
the second node of that hostgroup comes online and try to export the very
same resource.
Specifying hostgroup in the Nagios server manifest (and exporting the
nagios_host instead) initially solve this issue but the biggest problem
with this approach is: in a multi hostgroup configuration, Nagios won't
start until atleast one member from the each hostgroup comes on-line. This
leaves us with a huge inconvenience. As all the hostgroups are created
during the Nagios server configuration, Nagios refuses to start until the
first member of the last hostgroup is configured. For us, it takes up to 30
mins. Is there any workaround/fix for this issue? Any pointer would be
greatly appreciated. Cheers!!
