# Service Monitoring <a id="service-monitoring"></a>
|
|
|
|
The power of Icinga 2 lies in its modularity. There are thousands of
|
|
community plugins available next to the standard plugins provided by
|
|
the [Monitoring Plugins project](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements <a id="service-monitoring-requirements"></a>
|
|
|
|
### Plugins <a id="service-monitoring-plugins"></a>
|
|
|
|
All existing Nagios or Icinga 1.x plugins work with Icinga 2. Community
|
|
plugins can be found for example on [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.com).
|
|
|
|
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](04-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 the included README file for installation instructions.
|
|
Sometimes plugins contain hard-coded paths to other components. Instead of changing
|
|
the plugin it might be easier to create a symbolic link to make sure it doesn't get overwritten during the next update.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes there are plugins which do not exactly fit your requirements.
|
|
In that case you can modify an existing plugin or just write your own.
|
|
|
|
### CheckCommand Definition <a id="service-monitoring-plugin-checkcommand"></a>
|
|
|
|
Each plugin requires a [CheckCommand](09-object-types.md#objecttype-checkcommand) object in your
|
|
configuration which can be used in the [Service](09-object-types.md#objecttype-service) or
|
|
[Host](09-object-types.md#objecttype-host) object definition.
|
|
|
|
Please check if the Icinga 2 package already provides an
|
|
[existing CheckCommand definition](10-icinga-template-library.md#icinga-template-library).
|
|
If that's the case, throroughly check the required parameters and integrate the check command
|
|
into your host and service objects.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure to follow these conventions when adding a new command object definition:
|
|
|
|
* Use [command arguments](03-monitoring-basics.md#command-arguments) whenever possible. The `command` attribute
|
|
must be an array in `[ ... ]` for shell escaping.
|
|
* Define a unique `prefix` for the command's specific 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](09-object-types.md#objecttype-checkcommand) like `set_if` definitions.
|
|
|
|
This is an example for a custom `my-snmp-int` check command:
|
|
|
|
object CheckCommand "my-snmp-int" {
|
|
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"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
For further information on your monitoring configuration read the
|
|
[Monitoring Basics](03-monitoring-basics.md#monitoring-basics) chapter.
|
|
|
|
If you have created your own `CheckCommand` definition, please kindly
|
|
[send it upstream](https://www.icinga.com/community/get-involved/).
|
|
|
|
### Plugin API <a id="service-monitoring-plugin-api"></a>
|
|
|
|
Currently Icinga 2 supports the native plugin API specification from the Monitoring Plugins project. It is defined in the [Monitoring Plugins Development Guidelines](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html).
|
|
|
|
### Create a new Plugin <a id="service-monitoring-plugin-new"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sometimes an existing plugin does not satisfy your requirements. You
|
|
can either kindly contact the original author about plans to add changes
|
|
and/or create a patch.
|
|
|
|
If you just want to format the output and state of an existing plugin
|
|
it might also be helpful to write a wrapper script. This script
|
|
could pass all configured parameters, call the plugin script, parse
|
|
its output/exit code and return your specified output/exit code.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand plugins for specific services and hardware might not yet
|
|
exist.
|
|
|
|
Common best practices when creating a new plugin are for example:
|
|
|
|
* Choose the programming language wisely
|
|
* Scripting languages (Bash, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, etc.) are easier to write and setup but their check execution might take longer (invoking the script interpreter as overhead, etc.).
|
|
* Plugins written in C/C++, Go, etc. improve check execution time but may generate an overhead with installation and packaging.
|
|
* Use a modern VCS such as Git for developing the plugin (e.g. share your plugin on GitHub).
|
|
* Add parameters with key-value pairs to your plugin. They should allow long names (e.g. `--host localhost`) and also short parameters (e.g. `-H localhost`)
|
|
* `-h|--help` should print the version and all details about parameters and runtime invocation.
|
|
* Add a verbose/debug output functionality for detailed on-demand logging.
|
|
* Respect the exit codes required by the [Plugin API](05-service-monitoring.md#service-monitoring-plugin-api).
|
|
* Always add performance data to your plugin output
|
|
|
|
Example skeleton:
|
|
|
|
# 1. include optional libraries
|
|
# 2. global variables
|
|
# 3. helper functions and/or classes
|
|
# 4. define timeout condition
|
|
|
|
if (<timeout_reached>) then
|
|
print "UNKNOWN - Timeout (...) reached | 'time'=30.0
|
|
endif
|
|
|
|
# 5. main method
|
|
|
|
<execute and fetch data>
|
|
|
|
if (<threshold_critical_condition>) then
|
|
print "CRITICAL - ... | 'time'=0.1 'myperfdatavalue'=5.0
|
|
exit(2)
|
|
else if (<threshold_warning_condition>) then
|
|
print "WARNING - ... | 'time'=0.1 'myperfdatavalue'=3.0
|
|
exit(1)
|
|
else
|
|
print "OK - ... | 'time'=0.2 'myperfdatavalue'=1.0
|
|
endif
|
|
|
|
There are various plugin libraries available which will help
|
|
with plugin execution and output formatting too, for example
|
|
[nagiosplugin from Python](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nagiosplugin/).
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> Ensure to test your plugin properly with special cases before putting it
|
|
> into production!
|
|
|
|
Once you've finished your plugin please upload/sync it to [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.com/new).
|
|
Thanks in advance!

## Service Monitoring Overview <a id="service-monitoring-overview"></a>
|
|
|
|
The following examples should help you to start implementing your own ideas.
|
|
There is a variety of plugins available. This collection is not complete --
|
|
if you have any updates, please send a documentation patch upstream.
|
|
|
|
### General Monitoring <a id="service-monitoring-general"></a>
|
|
|
|
If the remote service is available (via a network protocol and port),
|
|
and if a check plugin is also available, you don't necessarily need a local client.
|
|
Instead, choose a plugin and configure its parameters and thresholds. The following examples are included in the [Icinga 2 Template Library](10-icinga-template-library.md#icinga-template-library):
