Trying to implement more sophisticated downtimes I ran into the problem of not being able to use vars from services or hosts in the object.

The following is not working because '$abc$' does not seem to be "translated" in scheduleddowntime as in apply_services for example.

icinga2::object::apply_scheduleddowntime { 'backup-downtime':
    author => 'Backup-Administrator',
    comment => 'Scheduled downtime for backup',
    ranges  => {
      monday    => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      tuesday   => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      wednesday => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      thursday  => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      friday    => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      saturday  => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
      sunday    => '$service.vars.backup_downtime$',
    },
    assign_where => 'service.vars.backup_downtime != ""',
  }

The following is not working because puppet-icinga2 is quoting the vars.

...
    ranges  => {
      monday    => 'service.vars.backup_downtime',
...

to

...
  ranges = {
    "monday" = "service.vars.backup_downtime"
...

Icinga is only accepting the following as valid.

...
  ranges = {
    "monday" = service.vars.backup_downtime
...

Note: This is the same or similar problem as in this issue (https://dev.icinga.org/issues/10804)

I propose to create a separate object for this type of apply, which is not quoting the ranges.
