Puppet users - Nov 2012 - Puppet and Hyperic

Was just wondering, before I went too far down this path...

I have to use Hyperic for monitoring and alerting.

I''ve got... 110+ apps to monitor spread across 3 clusters of 3 nodes.
I''ve
puppetized nearly every other aspect of this setup, so am now looking to 
puppetize the monitoring.

I know that puppet has rather extensive, built in support for Nagios, and I 
have heard that Nagios style scripts can be used with Hyperic.

I also know that Hyperic has a couple of APIs for programmatically adding 
services/applications/groups/alerts/etc.

I did not find any hyperic modules on the forge - though I don''t need
any
for installing the server and agents as I already have that done.

Has anyone attempted this so far? If so, any pointers or caveats you could 
share? Or, if not on this specifically, any pointers as to a general 
approach that I should take?

I do have, in hiera, a list of what apps belong on what nodes in each 
cluster, so I don''t need to export that, and would like to use that for
my
monitoring.  I also know that if I am not careful, the monitoring will 
hammer my servers when the scripts run, and these tend to take a fair 
amount of abuse as it is, so don''t want to add to it too much if I can.

Thanks.

I was just wodnering - has anyone puppetized hyperic? Specifically, the 
configuration of groups, resources, alertdefs etc.

I''m starting such a project, but am unsure how to approach some of it.
I
think eventually I will wind up needing to do a set of types and providers, 
comparable to the nagios_* types.

Is this something others would be interested in?
