Should writeup some documentation and put it in the wiki. Things like:

Info on using exported resources would be interesting. As I understand it every Puppet node that includes an opsview_* type, like opsview_monitored, talks directly to the Opsview instance configured in /etc/puppet/opsview.conf, is that correct? In that case, how would exporting resources fit here?

You are correct, every node that has these resources defined needs to be able to talk to Opsview. Using exported resources eliminates this, and the nodes will instead write this data to the puppet master's stored configuration. You then collect the exported resources on a single node, and this node can be the one and only node that talks to Opsview.

I just wrote up some basic info on using it in the wiki. Let me know if this makes sense, or if you've got questions about it.
