foreman defined types

defined.md

How do you created defined types in the foreman? e.g. nrpe::command, apahce::vhost ect.. Based on these links, and from what users in the foreman irc chanel have suggested. https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-infra/blob/master/puppet/modules/users/manifests/init.pp https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/foreman-users/o-Sqjo-n21A

profile::nagios::client.pp

class profiles::nagios::client ( $checks ){
include nrpe
  if $checks {
    create_resources(nrpe::command, $checks)
  }
  else {
    fail('profiles::nagios::client recieved no parameter for $checks. Please create a resource hash in the foreman or hiera. see profiles::nagios::client.pp for more info')
  }

}

profile::tests::nagios::client.pp

$nrpe_hash = {
  'check-users' => {
    ensure  => present,
    command => 'check_users -w 5 -c 10',
  },
}

class {'profiles::nagios::client': checks => $nrpe_hash}

Here is how I am calling the class

puppet apply /vagrant/profile/tests/nagios/client.pp --debug --verbose

This throws the following error:

Error: can't convert nil into Hash at /usr/share/puppet/modules/profiles/manifests/nagios/client.pp:8 on node xxxxx
Wrapped exception:

Update

When trying to add the contents of tests/nagios/client.pp to the web interface of the forman, it throws an error

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: create_resources(): second argument must be a hash at /etc/puppet/environments/development/modules/profiles/manifests/nagios/client.pp:8 on node nagiosfun.vapor2.ac

I've tried

{{'check_users' => {ensure  => present,
    command => 'check_users -w 5 -c 10',
  },
  'check_load' => {
    ensure => present,
    command => 'check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20',
  },
  'check_sda1' => {
    ensure => present,
    command => 'check_disk -w 20% -c 5% -p /dev/sda1',
  }}

"{'check_users' => {ensure  => present,
    command => 'check_users -w 5 -c 10',
  },
  'check_load' => {
    ensure => present,
    command => 'check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20',
  },
  'check_sda1' => {
    ensure => present,
    command => 'check_disk -w 20% -c 5% -p /dev/sda1',
  }"

Instead of using a hash, use yaml, here is an example.

You can verify that it is correct by going into the host in foreman, then clicking on the yaml button. it should look similar to the pastebin above!
