Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Nagios Contacts(groups)

I''m currently defining nagioscontacts one-by-one like so;

        @@nagios_contact { username1:
         ensure => present,
         use => "generic-contact",
         contact_name => username1,
         alias => "user1",
         email => "emailaddress1",
         target => "/etc/nagios/conf.d/contacts/username1.cfg",
        notify  => Exec["fix_nagios_perms"]
      }

      @@nagios_contactgroup { groupname1:
         ensure => present,
         contactgroup_name => groupname1,
         alias => group1,
         members => "members1",
         contactgroup_members => "",
         target =>
"/etc/nagios/conf.d/contactgroups/groupname1.cfg",
        notify  => Exec["fix_nagios_perms"]
        }

And generating them with;

        Nagios_contactgroup <<||>>
        Nagios_contact <<||>>

Is there a way to create a list such as ;
name1:username1:emailaddress1
name2:username2:emailaddress2

And "loop" the creation?

classic use case for defined types.
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#defined-resource-types

Your type will look like this:

my_nagios_contact($email) {
  @@nagios_contact { $name: ... }
}

And used like
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/2.7.latest/function.html#createresources

create_resources(my_nagios_contact, $contacts)

where $contacts is a suitable hash.

Same structure for contactgroups. It may be hard to find one single
datastructure to hold both contacts and contactgroups, but that would
not lend itself to the problem at hand very well, anyway.

HTH,
Felix
