That's a lot more difficult than you might expect.
I recently solved it, by collecting all the necessary hostgroups for a
host in a file using 'concat', and creating a custom fact (hostgroups)
that joins all the lines in the hostgroups-file together, for use with
nagios_host's hostgroups parameter.
The biggest drawback is that it takes two puppet runs on the target (first
one for populating the hostgroups-file, so that the custom fact is set
properly on the second run) before the nagios server can collect the
exported hosts, so it takes a while.
Best regards,
Martijn.
