At work we add a tag for when setting up the nagios checks in puppet
tag "nagios_env:$environment"
then when we realize or export the check
We link the generation to the tag
Nagios_serviceescalation <<| tag == "nagios_env:$environment" |>> {
require => Service["nagios"],
notify => Exec["nagios-safe-restart"],
}
and since $environment is built in and assigned to every host elsewhere the
checks appear on the correct nagios server, provided they were deployed to
the correct environment.
