Hi,

I'me using nagios builtin types and I'm very surprised that the
parameter *name* is not available for type nagios_host ?!?

This parameter is required to use inheritance
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html) and I
don't understand why it is not included in all nagios types ?

Maybe someone has an explanation or it is simply a bug?

Regards,
Mathieu

I don't know anything about nagios, but each Puppet resource needs a
"namevar" or title. I think the nagios type might uses this as the
nagios name parameter, at least that would make sense...
