# <a id="configuring-icinga2-first-steps"></a> Configuring Icinga 2: First Steps
|
|
|
|
## <a id="icinga2-conf"></a> icinga2.conf
|
|
|
|
An example configuration file is installed for you in `/etc/icinga2/icinga2.conf`.
|
|
|
|
Here's a brief description of the example configuration:
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* Icinga 2 configuration file
|
|
* - this is where you define settings for the Icinga application including
|
|
* which hosts/services to check.
|
|
*
|
|
* For an overview of all available configuration options please refer
|
|
* to the documentation that is distributed as part of Icinga 2.
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2 supports [C/C++-style comments](15-language-reference.md#comments).
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* The constants.conf defines global constants.
|
|
*/
|
|
include "constants.conf"
|
|
|
|
The `include` directive can be used to include other files.
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* The zones.conf defines zones for a cluster setup.
|
|
* Not required for single instance setups.
|
|
*/
|
|
include "zones.conf"
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* The Icinga Template Library (ITL) provides a number of useful templates
|
|
* and command definitions.
|
|
* Common monitoring plugin command definitions are included separately.
|
|
*/
|
|
include <itl>
|
|
include <plugins>
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* The features-available directory contains a number of configuration
|
|

|
* These commands work by creating and removing symbolic links in
|
|
* the features-enabled directory.
|
|
*/
|
|
include "features-enabled/*.conf"
|
|
|
|
This `include` directive takes care of including the configuration files for all
|
|
the features which have been enabled with `icinga2 feature enable`. See
|
|
[Enabling/Disabling Features](8-cli-commands.md#features) for more details.
|
|
|
|

|
|
* managed by the 'icinga2 repository' CLI commands.
|
|
*/

|
include_recursive "repository.d"
|
|
|
|
This `include_recursive` directive is used for discovery of services on remote clients
|
|
and their generated configuration described in
|
|
[this chapter](7-monitoring-remote-systems.md#icinga2-remote-monitoring-master-discovery-generate-config).
|
|

|
|
*/
|
|
include_recursive "conf.d"
|
|
|
|
You can put your own configuration files in the [conf.d](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#conf-d) directory. This
|
|
directive makes sure that all of your own configuration files are included.

|
|
|
|
## <a id="constants-conf"></a> constants.conf
|
|
|
|
The `constants.conf` configuration file can be used to define global constants.
|
|
|
|
By default, you need to make sure to set these constants:
|
|
|
|
* The `PluginDir` constant must be pointed to your [check plugins](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-check-plugins) path.
|
|
This constant is required by the shipped
|
|
[plugin check command configuration](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands).
|
|
* The `NodeName` constant defines your local node name. Should be set to FQDN which is the default
|
|
if not set. This constant is required for local host configuration, monitoring remote clients and
|
|
cluster setup.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
/* The directory which contains the plugins from the Monitoring Plugins project. */
|
|
const PluginDir = "/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins"
|
|
|
|
|
|
/* The directory which contains the Manubulon plugins.
|
|
* Check the documentation, chapter "SNMP Manubulon Plugin Check Commands", for details.
|
|
*/
|
|
const ManubulonPluginDir = "/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins"
|
|
|
|
/* Our local instance name. By default this is the server's hostname as returned by `hostname --fqdn`.
|
|
* This should be the common name from the API certificate.
|
|
*/
|
|
//const NodeName = "localhost"
|
|
|
|
/* Our local zone name. */
|
|
const ZoneName = NodeName
|
|
|
|
/* Secret key for remote node tickets */
|
|
const TicketSalt = ""
|
|
|
|
The `ZoneName` and `TicketSalt` constants are required for remote client
|
|
and distributed setups only.
|
|
|
|
## <a id="conf-d"></a> The conf.d Directory
|
|
|
|
This directory contains example configuration which should help you get started
|
|
with monitoring the local host and its services. It is included in the
|
|
[icinga2.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#icinga2-conf) configuration file by default.
|
|
|
|
It can be used as reference example for your own configuration strategy.
|
|
Just keep in mind to include the main directories in the
|
|
[icinga2.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#icinga2-conf) file.
|
|
|
|
You are certainly not bound to it. Remove it, if you prefer your own
|
|
way of deploying Icinga 2 configuration.
|
|
|
|
Further details on configuration best practice and how to build your
|
|
own strategy is described in [this chapter](3-monitoring-basics.md#configuration-best-practice).
|
|
|
|
Available configuration files shipped by default:
|
|
|
|
* [hosts.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf)
|
|
* [services.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf)
|
|
* [users.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#users-conf)
|
|
* [notifications.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#notifications-conf)
|
|
* [commands.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#commands-conf)
|
|
* [groups.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#groups-conf)
|
|
* [templates.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#templates-conf)
|
|
* [downtimes.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#downtimes-conf)
|
|
* [timeperiods.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#timeperiods-conf)
|
|
* [satellite.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#satellite-conf)
|
|
|
|
### <a id="hosts-conf"></a> hosts.conf
|
|
|
|
The `hosts.conf` file contains an example host based on your
|
|
`NodeName` setting in [constants.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#constants-conf). You
|
|
can use global constants for your object names instead of string
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
The `import` keyword is used to import the `generic-host` template which
|
|
takes care of setting up the host check command to `hostalive`. If you
|
|
require a different check command, you can override it in the object definition.
|
|
|
|
The `vars` attribute can be used to define custom attributes which are available
|
|
for check and notification commands. Most of the [Plugin Check Commands](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands)
|
|
in the Icinga Template Library require an `address` attribute.
|
|
|
|
The custom attribute `os` is evaluated by the `linux-servers` group in
|
|
[groups.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#groups-conf) making the local host a member.
|
|
|
|
The example host will show you how to
|
|
|
|
* define http vhost attributes for the `http` service apply rule defined
|
|
in [services.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf).
|
|
* define disks (all, specific `/`) and their attributes for the `disk`
|
|
service apply rule defined in [services.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf).
|
|
* define notification types (`mail`) and set the groups attribute. This
|
|
will be used by notification apply rules in [notifications.conf](notifications-conf).
|
|
|
|
If you've installed [Icinga Web 2](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-icingaweb2) you can
|
|
uncomment the http vhost attributes and relaod Icinga 2. The apply
|
|
rules in [services.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf) will automatically
|
|
generate a new service checking the `/icingaweb2` URI using the `http`
|
|
check.
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Host definitions with object attributes
|
|
* used for apply rules for Service, Notification,
|
|
* Dependency and ScheduledDowntime objects.
|
|
*
|
|
* Tip: Use `icinga2 object list --type Host` to
|
|
* list all host objects after running
|
|
* configuration validation (`icinga2 daemon -C`).
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* This is an example host based on your
|
|
* local host's FQDN. Specify the NodeName
|
|
* constant in `constants.conf` or use your
|
|
* own description, e.g. "db-host-1".
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
object Host NodeName {
|
|
/* Import the default host template defined in `templates.conf`. */
|
|
import "generic-host"
|
|
|
|
/* Specify the address attributes for checks e.g. `ssh` or `http`. */
|
|
address = "127.0.0.1"
|
|
address6 = "::1"
|
|
|
|
/* Set custom attribute `os` for hostgroup assignment in `groups.conf`. */
|
|
vars.os = "Linux"
|
|
|
|
/* Define http vhost attributes for service apply rules in `services.conf`. */
|
|
vars.http_vhosts["http"] = {
|
|
http_uri = "/"
|
|
}
|
|
/* Uncomment if you've sucessfully installed Icinga Web 2. */
|
|
//vars.http_vhosts["Icinga Web 2"] = {
|
|
// http_uri = "/icingaweb2"
|
|
//}
|
|
|
|
/* Define disks and attributes for service apply rules in `services.conf`. */
|
|
vars.disks["disk"] = {
|
|
/* No parameters. */
|
|
}
|
|
vars.disks["disk /"] = {
|
|
disk_partitions = "/"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* Define notification mail attributes for notification apply rules in `notifications.conf`. */
|
|
vars.notification["mail"] = {
|
|
/* The UserGroup `icingaadmins` is defined in `users.conf`. */
|
|
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This is only the host object definition. Now we'll need to make sure that this
|
|
host and your additional hosts are getting [services](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf) applied.
|
|
|
|
> **Tip**
|
|

|
|
> If you don't understand all the attributes and how to use [apply rules](15-language-reference.md#apply)
|
|
> don't worry - the [monitoring basics](3-monitoring-basics.md#monitoring-basics) chapter will explain
|
|

|
|
|
|
### <a id="services-conf"></a> services.conf
|
|
|
|
These service [apply rules](15-language-reference.md#apply) will show you how to monitor
|
|
the local host, but also allow you to re-use or modify them for
|
|
your own requirements.
|
|
|
|
You should define all your service apply rules in `services.conf`
|
|
or any other central location keeping them organized.
|
|
|
|
By default, the local host will be monitored by the following services
|
|
|
|
Service(s) | Applied on host(s)
|
|
--------------------------------------------|------------------------
|
|
`load`, `procs`, `swap`, `users`, `icinga` | The `NodeName` host only
|
|
`ping4`, `ping6` | All hosts with `address` resp. `address6` attribute
|
|
`ssh` | All hosts with `address` and `vars.os` set to `Linux`
|
|
`http`, optional: `Icinga Web 2` | All hosts with custom attribute `http_vhosts` defined as dictionary
|
|
`disk`, `disk /` | All hosts with custom attribute `disks` defined as dictionary
|
|
|
|
The Debian packages also ship an additional `apt` service check applied to the local host.
|
|
|
|
The command object `icinga` for the embedded health check is provided by the
|
|
[Icinga Template Library (ITL)](6-icinga-template-library.md#icinga-template-library) while `http_ip`, `ssh`, `load`, `processes`,
|
|
`users` and `disk` are all provided by the [Plugin Check Commands](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands)
|
|
which we enabled earlier by including the `itl` and `plugins` configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example `load` service apply rule:
|
|
|
|
apply Service "load" {
|
|
import "generic-service"
|
|
|
|
check_command = "load"
|
|
|
|
/* Used by the ScheduledDowntime apply rule in `downtimes.conf`. */
|
|
vars.backup_downtime = "02:00-03:00"
|
|
|
|
assign where host.name == NodeName
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The `apply` keyword can be used to create new objects which are associated with
|
|
another group of objects. You can `import` existing templates, define (custom)
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
The custom attribe `backup_downtime` is defined to a specific timerange string.
|
|
This variable value will be used for applying a `ScheduledDowntime` object to
|
|
these services in [downtimes.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#downtimes-conf).
|
|
|
|
In this example the `assign where` condition is a boolean expression which is
|
|
evaluated for all objects of type `Host` and a new service with name "load"
|
|
is created for each matching host. [Expression operators](15-language-reference.md#expression-operators)
|
|
may be used in `assign where` conditions.
|
|
|
|
Multiple `assign where` condition can be combined with `AND` using the `&&` operator
|
|
as shown in the `ssh` example:
|
|
|
|
apply Service "ssh" {
|
|
import "generic-service"
|
|
|
|
check_command = "ssh"
|
|
|
|
assign where host.address && host.vars.os == "Linux"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
In this example, the service `ssh` is applied to all hosts having the `address`
|
|
attribute defined `AND` having the custom attribute `os` set to the string
|
|
`Linux`.
|
|
You can modify this condition to match multiple expressions by combinding `AND`
|
|
and `OR` using `&&` and `||` [operators](15-language-reference.md#expression-operators), for example
|
|
`assign where host.address && (vars.os == "Linux" || vars.os == "Windows")`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A more advanced example is shown by the `http` and `disk` service apply
|
|
rules. While one `apply` rule for `ssh` will only create a service for matching
|
|
hosts, you can go one step further: Generate apply rules based on array items
|
|
or dictionary key-value pairs.
|
|
|
|
The idea is simple: Your host in [hosts.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf) defines the
|
|
`disks` dictionary as custom attribute in `vars`.
|
|
|
|
Remember the example from [hosts.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf):
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
/* Define disks and attributes for service apply rules in `services.conf`. */
|
|
vars.disks["disk"] = {
|
|
/* No parameters. */
|
|
}
|
|
vars.disks["disk /"] = {
|
|
disk_partition = "/"
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
This dictionary contains multiple service names we want to monitor. `disk`
|
|
should just check all available disks, while `disk /` will pass an additional
|
|
parameter `disk_partition` to the check command.
|
|
|
|
You'll recognize that the naming is important - that's the very same name
|
|
as it is passed from a service to a check command argument. Read about services
|
|
and passing check commands in [this chapter](3-monitoring-basics.md#command-passing-parameters).
|
|
|
|
Using `apply Service for` omits the service name, it will take the key stored in
|
|
the `disk` variable in `key => config` as new service object name.
|
|
|
|
The `for` keyword expects a loop definition, for example `key => value in dictionary`
|
|
as known from Perl and other scripting languages.
|
|
|
|
Once defined like this, the `apply` rule defined below will do the following:
|
|
|
|
* only match hosts with `host.vars.disks` defined through the `assign where` condition
|
|
* loop through all entries in the `host.vars.disks` dictionary. That's `disk` and `disk /` as keys.
|
|
* call `apply` on each, and set the service object name from the provided key
|
|
* inside apply, the `generic-service` template is imported
|
|
* defining the [disk](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-command-disk) check command requiring command arguments like `disk_partition`
|
|
* adding the `config` dictionary items to `vars`. Simply said, there's now `vars.disk_partition` defined for the
|
|
generated service
|
|
|
|
Configuration example:
|
|
|
|
apply Service for (disk => config in host.vars.disks) {
|
|
import "generic-service"
|
|
|
|
check_command = "disk"
|
|
|
|
vars += config
|
|
|
|
assign where host.vars.disks
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
A similar example is used for the `http` services. That way you can make your
|
|
host the information provider for all apply rules. Define them once, and only
|
|
manage your hosts.
|
|
|
|
Look into [notifications.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#notifications-conf) how this technique is used
|
|
for applying notifications to hosts and services using their type and user
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to install the [check plugins](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-check-plugins) required by
|
|
the hosts and services and their check commands.
|
|
|
|
Further details on the monitoring configuration can be found in the
|
|
[monitoring basics](3-monitoring-basics.md#monitoring-basics) chapter.
|
|
|
|
### <a id="users-conf"></a> users.conf
|
|
|
|
Defines the `icingaadmin` User and the `icingaadmins` UserGroup. The latter is used in
|
|
[hosts.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf) for defining a custom host attribute later used in
|
|
[notifications.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#notifications-conf) for notification apply rules.
|
|
|
|
object User "icingaadmin" {
|
|
import "generic-user"
|
|
|
|
display_name = "Icinga 2 Admin"
|
|
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
|
|
|
|
email = "icinga@localhost"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
object UserGroup "icingaadmins" {
|
|
display_name = "Icinga 2 Admin Group"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="notifications-conf"></a> notifications.conf
|
|
|
|
Notifications for check alerts are an integral part or your
|
|
Icinga 2 monitoring stack.
|
|
|
|
The shipped example defines two notification apply rules for hosts and services.
|
|
Both `apply` rules match on the same condition: They are only applied if the
|
|
nested dictionary attribute `notification.mail` is set.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the `to` keyword is important in [notification apply rules](3-monitoring-basics.md#using-apply-notifications)
|
|
defining whether these notifications are applies to hosts or services.
|
|
The `import` keyword imports the specific mail templates defined in [templates.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#templates-conf).
|
|
|
|
The `interval` attribute is not explicitly set - it [defaults to 30 minutes](5-object-types.md#objecttype-notification).
|
|
|
|
By setting the `user_groups` to the value provided by the
|
|
respective [host.vars.notification.mail](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf) attribute we'll
|
|
implicitely use the`icingaadmins` UserGroup defined in [users.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#users-conf).
|
|
|
|
apply Notification "mail-icingaadmin" to Host {
|
|
import "mail-host-notification"
|
|
|
|
user_groups = host.vars.notification.mail.groups
|
|
|
|
assign where host.vars.notification.mail
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
apply Notification "mail-icingaadmin" to Service {
|
|
import "mail-service-notification"
|
|
|
|
user_groups = host.vars.notification.mail.groups
|
|
|
|
assign where host.vars.notification.mail
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
More details on defining notifications and their additional attributes such as
|
|
filters can be read in [this chapter](3-monitoring-basics.md#notifications).
|
|
|
|
### <a id="commands-conf"></a> commands.conf
|
|
|
|
This is the place where your own command configuration can be defined. By default
|
|
only the notification commands used by the notification templates defined in [templates.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#templates-conf).
|
|
|
|
> **Tip**
|
|
>
|
|
> Icinga 2 ships the most common command definitions already in the
|
|
> [Plugin Check Commands](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands) definitions. More details on
|
|
> that topic in the [troubleshooting section](12-troubleshooting.md#check-command-definitions).
|
|
|
|
You can freely customize these notification commands, and adapt them for your needs.
|
|
Read more on that topic [here](3-monitoring-basics.md#notification-commands).
|
|
|
|
### <a id="groups-conf"></a> groups.conf
|
|
|
|
The example host defined in [hosts.conf](hosts-conf) already has the
|
|
custom attribute `os` set to `Linux` and is therefore automatically
|
|
a member of the host group `linux-servers`.
|
|
|
|
This is done by using the [group assign](15-language-reference.md#group-assign) expressions similar
|
|
to previously seen [apply rules](3-monitoring-basics.md#using-apply).
|
|
|
|
object HostGroup "linux-servers" {
|
|
display_name = "Linux Servers"
|
|
|
|
assign where host.vars.os == "Linux"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
object HostGroup "windows-servers" {
|
|
display_name = "Windows Servers"
|
|
|
|
assign where host.vars.os == "Windows"
|
|
}
|
|

|
Service groups can be grouped together by similar pattern matches.
|
|
The [match() function](15-language-reference.md#function-calls) expects a wildcard match string
|
|
and the attribute string to match with.
|
|
|
|
object ServiceGroup "ping" {
|
|
display_name = "Ping Checks"
|
|
|
|
assign where match("ping*", service.name)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
object ServiceGroup "http" {
|
|
display_name = "HTTP Checks"
|
|
|
|
assign where match("http*", service.check_command)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
object ServiceGroup "disk" {
|
|
display_name = "Disk Checks"
|
|
|
|
assign where match("disk*", service.check_command)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="templates-conf"></a> templates.conf
|
|
|
|
All shipped example configuration objects use generic global templates by
|
|
default. Be it setting a default `check_command` attribute in the `generic-host`
|
|
templates for your hosts defined in [hosts.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#hosts-conf), or defining
|
|
the default `states` and `types` filters for notification apply rules defined in
|
|
[notifications.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#notifications-conf).
|
|
|
|
|
|
template Host "generic-host" {
|
|
max_check_attempts = 5
|
|
check_interval = 1m
|
|
retry_interval = 30s
|
|
|
|
check_command = "hostalive"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
template Service "generic-service" {
|
|
max_check_attempts = 3
|
|
check_interval = 1m
|
|
retry_interval = 30s
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The `hostalive` check command is shipped with Icinga 2 in the
|
|
[Plugin Check Commands](6-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands).
|
|
|
|
|
|
template Notification "mail-host-notification" {
|
|
command = "mail-host-notification"
|
|
|
|
states = [ Up, Down ]
|
|
types = [ Problem, Acknowledgement, Recovery, Custom,
|
|
FlappingStart, FlappingEnd,
|
|
DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd, DowntimeRemoved ]
|
|
|
|
period = "24x7"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
template Notification "mail-service-notification" {
|
|
command = "mail-service-notification"
|
|
|
|
states = [ OK, Warning, Critical, Unknown ]
|
|
types = [ Problem, Acknowledgement, Recovery, Custom,
|
|
FlappingStart, FlappingEnd,
|
|
DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd, DowntimeRemoved ]
|
|
|
|
period = "24x7"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
More details on `Notification` object attributes can be found [here](5-object-types.md#objecttype-notification).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="downtimes-conf"></a> downtimes.conf
|
|
|
|
The `load` service apply rule defined in [services.conf](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#services-conf) defines
|
|
the `backup_downtime` custom attribute.
|
|
|
|
The [ScheduledDowntime](5-object-types.md#objecttype-scheduleddowntime) apply rule uses this attribute
|
|
to define the default value for the time ranges required for recurring downtime slots.
|
|
|
|
apply ScheduledDowntime "backup-downtime" to Service {
|
|
author = "icingaadmin"
|
|
comment = "Scheduled downtime for backup"
|
|
|
|
ranges = {
|
|
monday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
tuesday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
wednesday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
thursday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
friday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
saturday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
sunday = service.vars.backup_downtime
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
assign where service.vars.backup_downtime != ""
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="timeperiods-conf"></a> timeperiods.conf
|
|
|
|
This file ships the default timeperiod definitions for `24x7`, `9to5`
|
|
and `never`. Timeperiod objects are referenced by `*period`
|
|
objects such as hosts, services or notifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="satellite-conf"></a> satellite.conf
|
|
|
|
Ships default templates and dependencies for [monitoring remote clients](7-monitoring-remote-systems.md#icinga2-remote-client-monitoring)
|
|
using service discovery and [config generation](7-monitoring-remote-systems.md#icinga2-remote-monitoring-master-discovery-generate-config)
|
|
on the master. Can be ignored/removed on setups not using this features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further details on the monitoring configuration can be found in the
|
|
[monitoring basics](3-monitoring-basics.md#monitoring-basics) chapter.
