问题
I checked Puppet's documentation but didn't find any suggestions about it. I have Puppet module for Monit - https://forge.puppetlabs.com/dhoppe/monit . It already has some predefined configurations for some services in files folder - https://github.com/dhoppe/puppet-monit/tree/master/files/common/etc/monit/conf.d .
I want to add more, but not sure how to do it in the correct puppet way.
Is it ok to add new service configuration to local `puppet/module/monit/files/ folder? Will this folder be overwritten when update for module comes? Or maybe there is a better way for it?
PS. My services aren't public wide, so i can't make pull request to original dhoppe-monit repository.

Pull request is a good keyword.
If you cannot send your requirements upstream, you may wish to maintain a private fork/branch instead. And yes, you will be required to accomodate for upstream changes yourself to make sure that your additions keep working.
Apart from writing your own module from scratch, I don't really see another way to make this happen.
