Icinga 2 – Major config differencesIcinga 2 – Major config differences

• Completely new code style syntax• based on the old ideas

• Global macros• Contact and Contactgroup -> User and UserGroup

– no notification-specific attributes for services -> Notification Object

• Freely definable macros for commands • Intelligent variables• Assign rules for services

FroSCon 2014



• Macros and variables for checksdefine command { command_name ping4 command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5}

define service { use local-service host_name localhost service_description PING check_command ping4!100.0,20%!500.0,60%}

template CheckCommand "ping-common" { import "plugin-check-command" command = [ PluginDir + "/check_ping" ] arguments = { "-H" = "$ping_address$" "-w" = "$ping_wrta$,$ping_wpl$%" "-c" = "$ping_crta$,$ping_cpl$%" "-p" = "$ping_packets$" "-t" = "$ping_timeout$" } vars.ping_wrta = 100 vars.ping_wpl = 5 vars.ping_crta = 200 vars.ping_cpl = 15}

object CheckCommand "ping4" { import "ping-common" command += [ "-4" ] vars.ping_address = "$address$"}

FroSCon 2014



• Assign rules for servicesobject Host "web01.company.com" {

import "generic-host"

address = "192.168.10.101"address6 = "2001:db8::101”

vars.os = "Linux"}object Host "calamity.company.com" {

import "generic-host"

groups = [ "webserver" ]

address = "192.168.10.66"address6 = "2001:db8::666”

vars.os = "Linux"}

apply Service "http" {import "generic-service"

check_command = "check_http"

assign where match("web*", host.name) }

FroSCon 2014

apply Service "ping4" { import "generic-service" check_command = "ping4" assign where "generic-host" in host.templates ignore where !host.address}

object HostGroup "webserver" {display_name = "Web Servers"assign where match("web*", host.name)

}

apply Service "https-cert" {import "generic-service"

check_command = "check_https_cert"

assign where "webserver" in host.groups }

object Service "tomcat" {import "generic-service"

check_command = "tomcat"

host_name = "calamity.company.com" }



• New notification object– Icinga 1–

– Icinga 2–

–

• Escalations act as notification with defined begin and end

FroSCon 2014

service -> (contact, contactgroup) -> notification command

notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s

service -> notification -> notificationCommand -> user, userGroup

apply Notification "linux-admins" { interval = 15m command = "mail-service-notification" users = [ "icingaadmin" ]

states = [ Warning, Critical, Unknown ] types = [ Problem, Acknowledgement, Recovery, Custom, FlappingStart, FlappingEnd, DowntimeStart,DowntimeEnd, DowntimeRemoved ] period = "24x7"}

times = { begin = 1h end = 2h }

• All existing versions will be in active maintenance!


FroSCon 2014

Icinga Web 2Icinga Web 2

• Lightweight like Icinga classic and flexible like Icinga Web• Easy to extend and embed into other projects• Support for multiple backends

– Status.dat– Database– Livestatus

• Supports multiple backends simultaneously, as failover backend

• Supports Icinga 1.x and Icinga 2.x• Responsive actions• FAST!
