Hi Al, Thank you for your answer.
What I am trying to do is as follows: I have successfully installed Nagios server on CentOS 6.6 using Puppet and example42/nagios module. I have also added a new host with some checks and works like a charm. However I was looking around trying to understand how should I go about when I want to add a host such as localhost.cfg, just by passing the required variables to the Hiera file. I have tried to use nagios::host and nagios::target but doesn't seem to work, all I get it is that the run was successful but nothing has been applied. Do you think that I should use Icinga2? Thank you for quick reply and for your answer.
