At the moment it's not possible to add values to an attribute that already exists.

template Host "xyz" {
...
groups = [ .... ]
}

object Host "zzz" {
import "xyz"

groups += [ ... ]
}

Any nomination to solve this problem?

My proposal:

Detect if the first element is a +

icinga2::object::hostgroup { 'monitoring-hosts':
  display_name => 'Linux Servers',
  groups       => ['+', 'linux-servers' ],
  target       => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/groups2.conf',
}

This is not elegant at all and probably nobody understand it.

I would suggest to not support this at all. There is no case I can think of one would use this in combination with puppet.

Trying to implement parsing of

groups => 'groups + [ newgroup, anothernewgroup ]'

current version return

object foo "bar" {
vars = vars + "config"
}

=> variables from apply for have to be added to constants during runtime.

• Status changed from Feedback to Closed
• Done % changed from 0 to 100

now we pick up variables out of an apply for (foo => bar in ....) of (foo in ...)
