Puppet always recreates Nagios_hosts

[Jonathan Gazeley]

I've been using puppet with nagios for ages without any problems.
Recently I looked into the puppet logs on my nagios server and it seems
on every puppet run, puppet throws an error and recreates all the
nagios_host objects (see below), even if none of them have been changed.
I haven't changed my config so is there a new bug?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Ugh, dammit. This does look like a bug.

What version of Puppet is this? Can you open a Jira issue?

Thanks,
Felix

This is Puppet 3.4.3. I've logged issue PUP-2170 - let me know if you
want me to provide any more info.
