Multiple Nagios Servers

[Robert Smith]

Hello,

I've been trying to build multiple Nagios servers using Puppet (2.6.12), with no luck.  I've got a nagios::server class that includes:

  include nagios::server::commands

  include nagios::server::contacts

  include nagios::server::contactgroups

  include nagios::server::timeperiods

  include nagios::server::servicegroups

  include nagios::server::hostgroups

and then it does it's collection by running all the Nagios_command <<| |>>, Nagios_contactgroups <<| |>>, etc.  

In the contactgroups.pp manifest, for example, I have something like:

  @@nagios_contactgroup {

    "foo-admins_${hostname}":

      contactgroup_name => 'foo-admins',

      alias             => 'foo-admins',

      members           => 'sysadmin1, sysadmin2';

  }

My thinking was that by including the _${hostname} in the resource name, that it wouldn't cause conflicts between servers.  However, when I run nagios::server on more than one system, I get err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter alias failed: foo-admins can not create alias foo-admins: object already exists.

Everything seems to be working on the @@nagios_host and @@nagios_service resources, which include $hostname in their resource names.  

Any help greatly appreciated.

Every host is trying to create an exported resource named "foo-admins".  That's not what you want.  You want a *virtual* resource named foo-admins and then realize it on each node.
