Re: How to get $title of type "file" inside of a class?

[Nick Fagerlund]

You can't do this with a normal resource type -- $title will always be the title of the surrounding container.

So the solution is to interpose another container. Make a defined type that just acts as a macro here.

# /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/monit/manifests/rcfile.pp
define monit::rcfile {
        file { $title:
                path => "/opt/monit/etc/conf.d/$title.rc",
                ensure => file,
                content => template("monit/$title.rc.erb"),
                before => Service['monit'],
        }
}

# /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/monit/manifests/monit.pp

...
...
monit::rcfile { $server_types: }

See?
