/var/lib/bcfg2/Cfg/foo/foo.cheetah

Hostname is $self.metadata.hostname
Filename is $self.path
Template is $self.source_path
Groups:
#for $group in $self.metadata.groups:
 * $group
#end for
Categories:
#for $category in $self.metadata.categories:
 * $category -- $self.metadata.categories[$category]
#end for

Probes:
#for $probe in $self.metadata.Probes:
 * $probe -- $self.metadata.Probes[$probe]
#end for
