I am not familiar with nimsoft but I will try to help anyways here -
sorry if I am missing something but you can correct me. Let's say you
want to monitor the oracle instance:
First you specify the nimsoft_oracle_connection you already have
written(as I saw from the readme in github) and then on the actual
server that is checking each host in your network you will have build the
configuration
with something like https://github.com/dalen/puppet-puppetdbquery. For
that you will surely need a puppetDB configuration setup that is
connected to your puppet master.
Something like the following should then work(WARNING not tested code):
class nimsoft::server {
$hosts = query_nodes('Nimsoft_oracle_connection["PROD""]')
file { '/etc/nimsoft-config-file':
template('template-that-interpolates-hosts variable')
}
}
Hope this helps at least a little
