Hi Matthew,
Thanks for your response. I know your approach will work, but I'm
reluctant to go through my manifests and change every reference to
nagios_* to include a 'target' parameter. It's not only an effort to
change now, but I also have to remember to add a 'target' every time I
add Nagios resources in future. That's why I was asking if there was a
way to bulk-apply the 'target' parameter, either client-side or
server-side. If not then I'll have to do it this way :)
Cheers,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
You would want to do it on the client level, when its exporting its
host definition, like:
@@nagios_host { $hostname:
ensure => present,
alias => $hostname,
address => $ipaddress,
use => $template,
hostgroups => $hostgroups,
notes => "$manufacturer $productname",
target => "/etc/nagios/conf.d/puppet/$hostname.cfg",
}
etc.

Hi all,
We've been using Puppet to write out our Nagios configs for ages.
I think I understand it pretty well. Recently we've had reason to
set 'target' on all Nagios resources, based on the fqdn of the
monitored host. However I don't want to have to set 'target' by
hand on all Nagios resources (nor remember to set it on all future
ones).
So my question is: what's the easiest way to bulk-set the 'target'
parameter according to the fqdn?
So far I tried setting it on the Nagios server, which didn't work
because $::fqdn is always the name of the Nagios server, not the
monitored host
Nagios_host <<| |>> {
notify => Service['nagios'],
target => "/etc/nagios/conf.d/${::fqdn}.cfg",
}
I also tried including this on the monitored host, which didn't
work because it attempts to realise all Nagios_host resources on
the monitored host, not the Nagios server.
Nagios_host <<| |>> { target => "/etc/nagios/conf.d/${::fqdn}.cfg", }
Is there an easy way to easily making all nagios_* resources have
a fqdn-specific target?
Thanks,
Jonathan
