Bug #3712: Nagios type introducing some kind of corruption to .cfg files
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3712

I am seeing that naginator somehow writes files that fail to parse with nagios,
but only sometimes. The files visually look fine, but fail with this error:
Error: Host '' specified in host group 'ad-servers' is not defined anywhere!
Except that there is no host specific in this hostgroup (allowed in at least my
version of nagios):
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at Mon May 03 13:00:18 -0400 2010
# HEADER: by puppet. While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name ad-servers
alias Active Directory Servers
}
Now, the interesting part is that the error is different on .25.4. I have first
tried to do an automatic nagios setup on .24.8 and would get similar errors,
but the hostname would be a bunch of garbage characters. If I remove this file
as well as a couple more, it eventually quits failing to parse, so not all
files are written badly. It is also worth noting that the corruption goes
alphabetically. Sounds stupid, but ad-servers.cfg is the first hostgroup
alphabetically. Next is aptproxy-servers, which also fails, a couple more, then
domino-servers is the last hostgroup that fails to parse. esxi-servers and
onwards (alphabetically) give no errors.
I am not so sure how to pursue this issue, please let me know whatever
information you need to help narrow this down. I can reproduce this with ease.
Just rm [a,b,c,d]* in the hostgroups folder, everything parses. Re run puppet
to replace the .cfg files, then the error comes back.
