Icinga Template Library

The Icinga Template Library (ITL) implements standard templates and object definitions for commonly used services.

By default the ITL is included in the icinga2.conf configuration file:

include <itl>

Generic Templates

These templates are imported by the provided example configuration.

plugin-check-command

Command template for check plugins executed by Icinga 2.

The plugin-check-command command does not support any vars.

plugin-notification-command

Command template for notification scripts executed by Icinga 2.

The plugin-notification-command command does not support any vars.

plugin-event-command

Command template for event handler scripts executed by Icinga 2.

The plugin-event-command command does not support any vars.

Check Commands

These check commands are embedded into Icinga 2 and do not require any external plugin scripts.

Windows Plugins for Icinga 2

To allow a basic monitoring of Windows clients Icinga 2 comes with a set of Windows only plugins. While trying to mirror the functionalities of their linux cousins from the monitoring-plugins package, the differences between Windows and Linux are too big to be able use the same CheckCommands for both systems.

A check-commands-windows.conf comes with Icinga 2, it asumes that the Windows Plugins are installed in the PluginDir set in your constants.conf. To enable them the following include directive is needed in you icinga2.conf:

include <windows-plugins>

One of the differences between the Windows plugins and their linux counterparts is that they consistently do not require thresholds to run, functioning like dummies without.

Threshold syntax

So not specified differently the thresholds for the plugins all follow the same pattern

Threshold	Meaning
"29"	The threshold is 29.
"!29"	The threshold is 29, but the negative of the result is returned.
"[10-40]"	The threshold is a range from (including) 20 to 40, a value inside means the threshold has been exceeded.
"![10-40]"	Same as above, but the result is inverted.

Name	Description
ping_win_warn	Optional. The warning threshold. RTA and package loss separated by comma.
ping_win_crit	Optional. The critical threshold. RTA and package loss separated by comma.
ping_win_address	Required. An IPv4 or IPv6 address
ping_win_packets	Optional. Number of packages to send. Default: 5.
ping_win_timeout	Optional. The timeout in milliseconds. Default: 1000

procs_win_crit	Optional. The critical threshold.
procs_win_user	Optional. Count this useres processes.

service-windows

Check command object for check_service.exe plugin. This checks thresholds work different since the binary decision whether a service is running or not does not allow for three states. As a default check_service.exe will return CRITICAL when service_win_service is not running, the service_win_warn flag changes this to WARNING.

swap_win_unit	Optional. The unit to display the received value in, thresholds are interpreted in this unit. Defaults to "mb" (megabyte).

update-windows

Check command object for check_update.exe plugin. Querying Microsoft for Windows updates can take multiple seconds to minutes. An update is treated as important when it has the WSUS flag for SecurityUpdates or CriticalUpdates.

Note

The Network Services Account which runs Icinga 2 by default does not have the required permissions to run this check.

Custom attributes:

Name	Description
update_win_warn	If set, returns warning when important updates are available
update_win_crit	If set, return critical when important updates that require a reboot are available.
update_win_reboot	Set to treat 'may need update' as 'definitely needs update'

uptime-windows

Check command opject for check_uptime.exe plugin. Uses GetTickCount64 to get the uptime, so boot time is not included.

Plugin Check Commands for NSClient++

Icinga 2 can use the nscp client command to run arbitrary NSClient++ checks.

You can enable these check commands by adding the following the include directive in your icinga2.conf configuration file:

include <nscp>

You can also optionally specify an alternative installation directory for NSClient++ by adding the NscpPath constant in your constants.conf configuration file:

const NscpPath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NSClient++"

By default Icinga 2 uses the Microsoft Installer API to determine where NSClient++ is installed. It should not be necessary to manually set this constant.

Note that it is not necessary to run NSClient++ as a Windows service for these commands to work.
