Puppet users - Apr 2011 - Puppet nagios integration problem

Hi all,

I''m working on setting up Puppet to write out my Nagios configs. A few 
weeks back I inserted a few dummy Nagios checks into my Puppet config, 
and the Nagios configs were written out properly.

I''ve now added loads of Nagios host and service checks like this:

@@nagios_service { "check_smtp_${hostname}":
    check_command => "check_nrpe!check_smtp",
    host_name => "$fqdn",
    service_description => "SMTP",
}

and then I collect them like this:

Nagios_host <<||>>
Nagios_service <<||>>
Nagios_hostextinfo <<||>>
Nagios_servicedependency <<||>>

But today I spotted that my Nagios configs in /etc/nagios/ haven''t 
actually been updated for ages. I''ve prodded at the puppet server and 
client but I can''t see anything wrong with my setup. That said, I
don''t
really know how to debug this.

Can anyone offer any pointers?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Go to the one of the clients, then run: puppetd -vt and take a look at
the output?

Usually a good pointer :)
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply. Running with -vt seems to give the same output as 
--test. Neither output shows any nagios declarations being run, despite 
the fact that the manifests show that I''m applying @@nagios {} config 
like I showed in my previous email.

These Nagios calls are built-in Puppet functionality, right? Or do I 
have to install something extra? I''m running puppet 0.25.5 on server
and
clients. This is being installed on CentOS from the rpmfusion repo, 
although I''m not massively averse to packaging a newer version if this 
would help.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Have you made sure store-configs are working all right?
Can you inspect your database and see if you can spot some of your
nagios checks?

HTH,

Thank you - that was it. At some point since it last worked, I moved my 
puppetmaster under puppet management, and apparently broke my 
puppet.conf to the store-configs weren''t working. Too much of a good 
thing...

Cheers,
Jonathan
