 ###[Object type usage](id:object_type_usage)
 
 This module includes several defined types that can be used to automatically generate Icinga 2 format object definitions. They function in a similar way to [the built-in Nagios types that are included in Puppet](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html#exported-resources-with-nagios).
