Possible issue with nagios_* commands

[JonY]

I'm trying to setup a nagios server via puppet to monitor the other servers in the group. I can get the various stored info from puppet db but when the *.cfg files are created in the nagios folder they are all root:root 0600. 

IE nagios can't read them.

I can work around this but I'm wondering if there is some config that I've missed.

I recall having the same problem. In fact, here's what I have in my own
nagios module :

# Work around a puppet bug where created files are 600 root:root
file { [
'/etc/nagios/nagios_command.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_contact.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_contactgroup.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_host.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_hostdependency.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_hostgroup.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_service.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_servicegroup.cfg',
'/etc/nagios/nagios_timeperiod.cfg',
]:
ensure => present,
owner => 'root',
group => 'nagios',
mode => '0640',
before => Service['nagios'],
}

Hi,

there will be appropriate options to the nagios types starting with 3.5,
see https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1327

As a workaround you can now manage the configs as file { } resources.
This should not interfere with the nagios types.

HTH,
Felix
