Yes, when we export a resource we tag it with "nagios" and
"nagios-$admindomain" and in the nagios servers we do:

if ($mainnagios=true)
  extract resources tagged as nagios (ALL)
else
  extract resources tagged as nagios-$admindomain (nagios resources
created by hosts in that admindomain)
end

If that is your only nagios server, define mainnagios=true to check if
it was a problem with the resource tagging

Also, right now you can have distributed Nagios, but NOT distributed
Puppet. Because Nagios uses Puppet's stored configuration and Puppet
does not (yet?) support distributed storeconfigs
So, even though ModularIT's NOC virtual machine includes Nagios and
Puppet, if you have a central NOC and install a NOC in a client, the
Puppet server in that client's NOC can NOT be used if you want to have
a central Nagios receiving all notifications
We have to find a workaround for this problem...

Salu2!
