Hi Scott,
The first thread you referenced looks like someone patched the issue that
you are referring to.
have you tried setting the $name parameter of the nagios resources? Does
this not set the nagios name as expected?
Just to be clear, the name variable is the same the title,
EX:
supercoolnagiostype{"$NAME":
var1 => foo,
car2 => bar,
}
regards,
Dan
