# <a id="addons-plugins"></a> Icinga 2 Addons and Plugins
|
||
|
||
## <a id="addons-graphing"></a> Graphing
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp"></a> PNP
|
||
|
||
[PNP](http://www.pnp4nagios.org) is a graphing addon.
|
||
|
||
[PNP](http://www.pnp4nagios.org) is an addon which adds a graphical representation of the performance data collected
|
||
by the monitoring plugins. The data is stored as rrd (round robin database) files.
|
||
|
||
Use your distribution's package manager to install the `pnp4nagios` package.
|
||
|
||
If you're planning to use it, configure it to use the
|
||
[bulk mode with npcd and npcdmod](http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/modes#bulk_mode_with_npcd_and_npcdmod)
|
||
in combination with Icinga 2's [PerfdataWriter](15-features.md#performance-data). NPCD collects the performance
|
||
data files which Icinga 2 generates.
|
||
|
||
Enable performance data writer in icinga 2
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature enable perfdata
|
||
|
||
Configure npcd to use the performance data created by Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
vim /etc/pnp4nagios/npcd.cfg
|
||
|
||
Set `perfdata_spool_dir = /var/spool/icinga2/perfdata` and restart the `npcd` daemon.
|
||
|
||
There's also an Icinga Web 2 module for direct PNP graph integration
|
||
available at [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.org/icinga/PNP).
|
||
|
||
More information on [action_url as attribute](14-addons-plugins.md#addons-graphing-pnp-action-url)
|
||
and [graph template names](14-addons-plugins.md#addons-graphing-pnp-custom-templates).
|
||
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-graphing-graphite"></a> Graphite
|
||
|
||
[Graphite](http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) is a time-series database
|
||
storing collected metrics and making them available through restful apis
|
||
and web interfaces.
|
||
|
||
Graphite consists of 3 software components:
|
||
|
||
* carbon -- a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
|
||
* whisper -- a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
|
||
* graphite webapp -- a Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo
|
||
|
||
Use the [GraphiteWriter](15-features.md#graphite-carbon-cache-writer) feature
|
||
for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to Graphite.
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature enable graphite
|
||
|
||
There are Graphite addons available for collecting the performance data files too (e.g. `Graphios`).
|
||
|
||
A popular alternative frontend for Graphite is for example [Grafana](http://grafana.org).
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-graphing-influxdb"></a> InfluxDB
|
||
|
||
[InfluxDB](https://influxdb.com) is a time series, metrics, and analytics database.
|
||
It’s written in Go and has no external dependencies.
|
||
|
||
Use the [InfluxdbWriter](15-features.md#influxdb-writer) feature
|
||
for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to InfluxDB.
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature enable influxdb
|
||
|
||
A popular frontend for InfluxDB is for example [Grafana](http://grafana.org).
|
||
|
||
## <a id="addons-visualization"></a> Visualization
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-visualization-reporting"></a> Icinga Reporting
|
||
|
||
By enabling the [DB IDO](15-features.md#db-ido) feature you can use the
|
||
[Icinga Reporting package](https://wiki.icinga.org/display/howtos/Setting+up+Icinga+with+Reporting).
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-visualization-nagvis"></a> NagVis
|
||
|
||
By using either [Livestatus](15-features.md#setting-up-livestatus) or
|
||
[DB IDO](15-features.md#db-ido) as a backend you can create your own network maps
|
||
based on your monitoring configuration and status data using [NagVis](http://www.nagvis.org).
|
||
|
||
The configuration in nagvis.ini.php should look like this for Livestatus for example:
|
||
|
||
[backend_live_1]
|
||
backendtype="mklivestatus"
|
||
socket="unix:/var/run/icinga2/cmd/livestatus"
|
||
|
||
If you are planning an integration into Icinga Web 2, look at [this module](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-nagvis).
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-visualization-thruk"></a> Thruk
|
||
|
||
[Thruk](http://www.thruk.org) is an alternative web interface which can be used with Icinga 2
|
||
and the [Livestatus](15-features.md#setting-up-livestatus) feature.
|
||
|
||
## <a id="log-monitoring"></a> Log Monitoring
|
||
|
||
Using [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/introduction.html) or
|
||
[Graylog](https://www.graylog.org) in your infrastructure and correlate events with your monitoring
|
||
is even simpler these days.
|
||
|
||
* Use the `GelfWriter` feature to write Icinga 2's check and notification events to Graylog or Logstash.
|
||
* Configure the logstash `nagios` output to send passive traps to Icinga 2 using the external command pipe.
|
||
* Execute a plugin to check Graylog alert streams.
|
||
|
||
More details can be found in [this blog post](https://www.icinga.org/2014/12/02/team-icinga-at-osmc-2014/).
|
||
|
||
## <a id="notification-scripts-interfaces"></a> Notification Scripts and Interfaces
|
||
|
||
There's a variety of resources available, for example different notification scripts such as:
|
||
|
||
* E-Mail ([examples](3-monitoring-basics.md#notifications) provided)
|
||
* SMS
|
||
* Pager (XMPP, etc.)
|
||
* Twitter
|
||
* IRC
|
||
* Ticket systems
|
||
* etc.
|
||
|
||
Additionally external services can be [integrated with Icinga 2](https://www.icinga.org/icinga/integration/):
|
||
|
||
* [Pagerduty](https://www.icinga.org/partners/pagerduty/)
|
||
* [VictorOps](https://www.icinga.org/partners/victorops/)
|
||
* [StackStorm](https://www.icinga.org/partners/stackstorm/)
|
||
|
||
More information can be found on the [Icinga Website](https://www.icinga.org/)
|
||
and the [Icinga Wiki](https://wiki.icinga.org/display/howtos/Home).
|
||
|
||
## <a id="configuration-tools"></a> Configuration Management Tools
|
||
|
||
If you require your favourite configuration tool to export the Icinga 2 configuration, please get in
|
||
touch with their developers. The Icinga project does not provide a configuration web interface
|
||
yet. Follow the [Icinga Blog](https://www.icinga.org/blog/) for updates on this topic.
|
||
|
||
If you're looking for puppet manifests, chef cookbooks, ansible recipes, etc. -- we're happy
|
||
to integrate them upstream, so please get in touch with the [Icinga team](https://www.icinga.org/community/get-involved/).
|
||
|
||
These tools are currently in development and require feedback and tests:
|
||
|
||
* [Ansible Roles](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2-ansible)
|
||
* [Puppet Module](https://github.com/Icinga/puppet-icinga2)
|
||
* [Chef Cookbook](https://github.com/Icinga/chef-icinga2)
|
||
|
||
## <a id="plugins"></a> Plugins
|
||
|
||
For some services you may need additional 'check plugins' which are not provided
|
||
by the official Monitoring Plugins project.
|
||
|
||
All existing Nagios or Icinga 1.x plugins work with Icinga 2. Here's a
|
||
list of popular community sites which host check plugins:
|
||
|
||
* [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.org)
|
||
* [Icinga Wiki](https://wiki.icinga.org)
|
||
|
||
The recommended way of setting up these plugins is to copy them to a common directory
|
||
and create a new global constant, e.g. `CustomPluginDir` in your [constants.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#constants-conf)
|
||
configuration file:
|
||
|
||
# cp check_snmp_int.pl /opt/monitoring/plugins
|
||
# chmod +x /opt/plugins/check_snmp_int.pl
|
||
|
||
# cat /etc/icinga2/constants.conf
|
||
/**
|
||
* This file defines global constants which can be used in
|
||
* the other configuration files. At a minimum the
|
||
* PluginDir constant should be defined.
|
||
*/
|
||
|
||
const PluginDir = "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins"
|
||
const CustomPluginDir = "/opt/monitoring/plugins"
|
||
|
||
Prior to using the check plugin with Icinga 2 you should ensure that it is working properly
|
||
by trying to run it on the console using whichever user Icinga 2 is running as:
|
||
|
||
# su - icinga -s /bin/bash
|
||
$ /opt/monitoring/plugins/check_snmp_int.pl --help
|
||
|
||
Additional libraries may be required for some plugins. Please consult the plugin
|
||
documentation and/or plugin provided README for installation instructions.
|
||
Sometimes plugins contain hard-coded paths to other components. Instead of changing
|
||
the plugin it might be easier to create logical links which is (more) update-safe.
|
||
|
||
Each plugin requires a [CheckCommand](6-object-types.md#objecttype-checkcommand) object in your
|
||
configuration which can be used in the [Service](6-object-types.md#objecttype-service) or
|
||
[Host](6-object-types.md#objecttype-host) object definition.
|
||
|
||
There are the following conventions to follow when adding a new command object definition:
|
||
|
||
* Always import the `plugin-check-command` template
|
||
* Use [command-arguments](#) whenever possible. The `command` attribute must be an array
|
||
in `[ ... ]` then for shell escaping.
|
||
* Define a unique `prefix` for the command's specific command arguments. That way you can safely
|
||
set them on host/service level and you'll always know which command they control.
|
||
* Use command argument default values, e.g. for thresholds
|
||
* Use [advanced conditions](6-object-types.md#objecttype-checkcommand) like `set_if` definitions.
|
||
|
||
Example for a custom `my-snmp-int` check command:
|
||
|
||
object CheckCommand "my-snmp-int" {
|
||
import "plugin-check-command"
|
||
|
||
command = [ CustomPluginDir + "/check_snmp_int.pl" ]
|
||
|
||
arguments = {
|
||
"-H" = "$snmp_address$"
|
||
"-C" = "$snmp_community$"
|
||
"-p" = "$snmp_port$"
|
||
"-2" = {
|
||
set_if = "$snmp_v2$"
|
||
}
|
||
"-n" = "$snmp_interface$"
|
||
"-f" = {
|
||
set_if = "$snmp_perf$"
|
||
}
|
||
"-w" = "$snmp_warn$"
|
||
"-c" = "$snmp_crit$"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
vars.snmp_v2 = true
|
||
vars.snmp_perf = true
|
||
vars.snmp_warn = "300,400"
|
||
vars.snmp_crit = "0,600"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
Icinga 2 has built-in check command definitions for the [Manubulon Plugin Checks](7-icinga-template-library.md#snmp-manubulon-plugin-check-commands).
|
||
|
||
For further information on your monitoring configuration read the
|
||
[Monitoring Basics](3-monitoring-basics.md#monitoring-basics) chapter.
|
||
|
||
You can find additional plugins at the [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.org)
|
||
|
||
More details on the plugins can also be found on the Icinga Wiki at https://wiki.icinga.org

## <a id="plugin-api"></a> Plugin API
|
||
|
||
Currently Icinga 2 supports the native plugin API specification from the `Monitoring Plugins`
|
||
project.
|
||
|
||
The `Monitoring Plugin API` is defined in the [Monitoring Plugins Development Guidelines](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html).
|
||
|
||
There are no output length restrictions using Icinga 2. This is different to the
|
||
[Icinga 1.x plugin api definition](http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/pluginapi.html#outputlengthrestrictions).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## <a id="addon-integration-hints"></a> More Addon Integration Hints
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp-action-url"></a> PNP Action Url
|
||
|
||
They work in a similar fashion for Icinga 2 and are used for 1.x web interfaces (Icinga Web 2 doesn't require
|
||
the action url attribute in its own module).
|
||
|
||
template Service "pnp-hst" {
|
||
action_url = "/pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
template Service "pnp-svc" {
|
||
action_url = "/pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp-custom-templates"></a> PNP Custom Templates with Icinga 2
|
||
|
||
PNP automatically determines the graph template from the check command name (or the argument's name).
|
||
This behavior changed in Icinga 2 compared to Icinga 1.x. Though there are certain possibilities to
|
||
fix this:
|
||
|
||
* Create a symlink for example from the `templates.dist/check_ping.php` template to the actual check name in Icinga 2 (`templates/ping4.php`)
|
||
* Pass the check command name inside the [format template configuration](15-features.md#writing-performance-data-files)
|
||
|
||
The latter becomes difficult with agent based checks like NRPE or SSH where the first command argument acts as
|
||
graph template identifier. There is the possibility to define the pnp template name as custom attribute
|
||
and use that inside the formatting templates as `SERVICECHECKCOMMAND` for instance.
|
||
|
||
Example for services:
|
||
|
||
# vim /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/perfdata.conf
|
||
|
||
service_format_template = "DATATYPE::SERVICEPERFDATA\tTIMET::$icinga.timet$\tHOSTNAME::$host.name$\tSERVICEDESC::$service.name$\tSERVICEPERFDATA::$service.perfdata$\tSERVICECHECKCOMMAND::$service.check_command$$pnp_check_arg1$\tHOSTSTATE::$host.state$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$host.state_type$\tSERVICESTATE::$service.state$\tSERVICESTATETYPE::$service.state_type$"
|
||
|
||
# vim /etc/icinga2/conf.d/services.conf
|
||
|
||
template Service "pnp-svc" {
|
||
action_url = "/pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$"
|
||
vars.pnp_check_arg1 = ""
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
apply Service "nrpe-check" {
|
||
import "pnp-svc"
|
||
check_command = nrpe
|
||
vars.nrpe_command = "check_disk"
|
||
|
||
vars.pnp_check_arg1 = "!$nrpe_command$"
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
If there are warnings about unresolved macros, make sure to specify a default value for `vars.pnp_check_arg1` inside the
|
||
|
||
In PNP, the custom template for nrpe is then defined in `/etc/pnp4nagios/custom/nrpe.cfg`
|
||
and the additional command arg string will be seen in the xml too for other templates.
