Create an LWRP for monitoring templates

[martinb3]

This LWRP would replace the templates going in all over the stacks. This would allow us to centrally control and optimize the cloud monitoring piece of each stack. It would be something akin to the web_app LWRP in the Apache cookbook, and every stack that wants to supply a monitor for something could just include a template file and call the LWRP. This would also allow us to turn on and off monitoring and templates in a central location.

At the moment I'm not sure about this, the point it requires so much user input that it's not that diferent then useing templates. Though it may be more flexible.

I do think it's a good idea though, but for a future release (thus the enhancement label).

+1, an LWRP for monitoring checks would be super useful for my team and others to migrate to using the new Monitoring cookbook, and ease maintenance going forward. Let me know if I can help make this happen.
