I have a router that I want to keep an eye on, not so much that it's
up but that the ping latency gets to a certain threshold. It's a
router at our second office in WI whereas I'm in NC.
Is there a way to setup a threshold for that in Icinga2? If so, how?
This particular thorn in my side is primarily why I setup Icinga in
the first place. IIRC, Nagios had a method of doing it, but the last
time I played with Nagios was nearly a decade ago.
If there's the need of integrating additional plugins, Icinga 2 and
Icinga 1.x share the same plugins. In your case you'll probably want
check_ping or check_icmp.
Further details on integrating new plugins are found on the docs in the
section " 2.3 Setting up Check Plugins" at (currently)
http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/snapshot/
The Icinga Template Library (ITL) already provides a CheckCommand named
"ping4" (details as well on the docs). The CheckCommand itsself already
defines some default macros used as threshold if your service doesn't
set any (like the sample localhost.conf does).
I know, there are some best practice docs missing, showcasing the ping
use case.
Try the following
object Host "foo" inherits "generic-host" {
...
services["ping4"] = {
templates = [ "generic-service" ].
check_command = "ping4",
macros = {
"wrta" = 200,
"wpl" = 10,
"crta" = 500,
"cpl" = 20
"packets" = 3,
}
}
}
You may of course use your own CheckCommand, and freely define the
macros and their names. The ITL just ships the basic templates everyone
needs from our experience in the past years.
As already remarked in the other thread, the documentation requires your
help. If you find anything useful and want to improve it, just do the
following
- fork us on github, clone it locally
- cd icinga2 && cd doc
- vim file.md (markdown syntax is easy)
- send a pull request
- open a new issue at https://dev.icinga.org in the Icinga 2 section
That way everyone may contribute and speed up the way to the final
version :)
Any help would be appreciated. So far, I'm absolutely loving Icinga2.
It's just fantastic.
:-)
kind regards,
Michael
