Hi,
I''m currently switching our local network over to puppet configuration,
latest
problem is how to manage nagios2.
I try to follow David Schmitt''s nagios2 module but need some basic
assistence.
1. What is this expression good for and where can I find some docs about it:
# import the various definitions
File <<||>>
2. Is it possible to do the following:
node ''machine1'' {
# monitored by nagios2:
include nagios2::client
}
where nagios2::client means:
class nagios2::client {
include nrpe
file { "/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg":
source => "puppet:///nagios/nrpe_local.cfg",
owner => root, group => root, mode => 644, checksum =>
md5,
notify => Service[nrpe],
}
}
class nrpe {
package { [nagios-nrpe-server, nagios-plugins]: ensure => installed }
service { nrpe:
ensure => running,
pattern => "/usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d",
restart => "/etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server reload",
}
}
So far it works but (how) can I trigger from the definition of machine1 the
addition of a host entry on the nagios2 server?
When I use the ''define host''-Definition, this is meant to work
on the nagios2
server. Do I need the (redundant) entries:
node ''nagios2server'' {
....
nagios2::host{ "machine1": ip => "machine1" }
nagios2::host{ "machine2": ip => "machine2" }
nagios2::host{ "machineN": ip => "machineN" }
}
Or am I totally wrong?
TIA
Helmut

What about ''Exporting Is Still Experimental''? Is it yet ready for production mode or will it break in the near future? Anyway, thanks a lot!

In my experience, anyway. Using the nagios example, if puppet hasn''t installed the nagios Package and it tries to collect the resources, it will fail (assuming you didn''t manually create /etc/nagios before running puppetd). I haven''t found a resolution for this yet. :( -scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

You have to have the require in the virtual resource itself. Makes sense now that I think about it. -scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
