Puppet users - Sep 2013 - nagios collector only finding some resources

I''ve set up puppetdb to manage my nagios configuration, running
puppetdb
on my puppet server (on ~RHEL 6), and running postgres for the puppetdb 
store.  The nodes to be managed have some standard nagios host/service 
exported resources, e.g.:

       @@nagios_host { $fqdn:
         ensure => present,
         alias => $hostname,
         address => $ipaddress,
         use => "linux-server",
       }
       @@nagios_service { "ping_${hostname}":
         ensure => present,
         use => "ping-service",
         host_name => "$fqdn",
       }
       @@nagios_service { "ssh_${hostname}":
         ensure => present,
         use => "ssh-service",
         host_name => "$fqdn",
       }

...and then on the nagios server, I collect the exported resources:

       Nagios_host <<||>>
       Nagios_service <<||>>

The problem I''m running into is that configs on the nagios server 
(/etc/nagios/nagios_*.cfg) only contain a *subset* (~20%) of the 
collected resources.  Worse, I can''t determine what causes a given 
nagios_host or nagios_service resource to be collected.

What I do know from querying the database is that all the exported 
resources are present in the puppetdb database (in catalog_resources).

Has anyone else run into this, or any hints how to proceed?

Thanks much!

Did you query via the REST interface, or the database directly. The
REST interface might be more clear, as this is pretty much what the
puppetdb terminus uses of course.

Haven''t seen or heard about this specifically. Umm ... can you prove
the problem without Nagios? Ie. have you tried using a different
resource to see if it occurs as well? Perhaps working around the edges
of the problem might prove what it is _not_ which is a start.

Interesting.  The REST interface agrees with the resulting nagios 
configuration when I query things like 
''http://localhost:8080/v2/resources/Nagios_service''.

But like I say, I see all the Nagios_* resources present in the actual 
database.  What gives?

Other resources (Package, File) seem to be present for all nodes using 
the query@<filename> method described in 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.4/api/query/tutorial.html.
