Puppet users - Jul 2008 - Virtual resources and +> / Using Nagios_hostgroup

Is it not possible to use +> with a virtual resource?

I have the following code:

@@Nagios_hostgroup["foo"] {
     members +> $fqdn
}

but get the following error:

Jul 19 12:17:31 ns1 puppetd[25031]: Could not retrieve catalog: Could 
not parse for environment production: Syntax error at ''['';
expected '']''
at /etc/puppet/modules/nagios/manifests/hostgroup.pp:13

At any rate, I am obviously trying to add members to a Nagios_hostgroup. 
Has anyone been able to do this? What should I be looking at?

I have hit a roadblock with my nagios setup because I have multiple 
services on the same host that need monitored. The Nagios_service type 
uses service_description as its namevar, rendering this sort of thing 
basically impossible.

I also want to keep the number of service entries as low as possible, so 
using hostgroups is preferable. But I simply can''t figure out how to
get
puppet to dynamically add a node to my hostgroup.

Any input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
> Is it not possible to use +> with a virtual resource?
just a side note: these are exported resources not virtual.
See http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/VirtualResources vs.
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ExportedResources

Slightly different features.

hmm I''m not very sure, but tried without the @@?

one problem will be that you can only add them while subclassing the
class of the original statement you have. If you''d like to do it the
way
your are trying to do it now.
But other question: why having the entries as low as possible? Puppet
manages them for you! However I don''t know Nagios that good, so there
might be other arguments for a low amount of entries.

Well I think I couldn''t really help ;-)
