 one part of our install process is to configure Nagios, by hand, in the
 git repository. I usually do this by copy-pasting some similar blob of
 config from a possibly similar machine and hope for the best.

 this is a manual step, and as part of the automation of the install
 process, it should be made automatic.

 one way this could (and probably should) be done is by making Puppet
 automatically add its nodes into Nagios. this can be done using the
 [https://github.com/Icinga/puppet-icinga2 icinga2 module], for example.
 care should be taken to do a smooth transition, keeping existing
 configurations and just adding the Puppet ones on top, for new machines.

 but this could (eventually) be retroactively added to all nodes, removing
 all manual configuration.
