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.

Icinga 2 Windows plugins

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.
