No problem there. I've got a batch of Winter Ale (which, living near
Raleigh, NC is rather appropriate right now) just about ready to
bottle.  Plus, if time permits I'm brewing a stout this weekend.  If
you have a preference, let me know.  A six-pack is yours.

Save it for the first meetup (whenever that may happen though).



I wouldn't use -a on nrpe given its lack of security in its
current ssl implementation. Rather put those credentials directly
on the client, for instance available as environment variables
passed using the init script includes. That way they are hidden
on ps output, and users may not see them by cat'ing nrpe.cfg
either.

Okay, I don't get the '-a' part of that.  But that's not a big deal at
the moment, just curious for curiousity's sake.

check_nrpe -H ... -c check_pgsql -a foo bar

would actually pass 2 additional arguments towards the nrpe daemon, which would translate "-a foo bar" into "$ARG1$" and "$ARG2$" internally. That's only possible with those additional command arguments are enabled by default. In Debian they are not as you may easily override the previous command line options (no further details here for security matters).

Note: the nrpe implementation is not ours, and therefore its config language is seperate from what you see in icinga 2 configuration syntax. at some later point we will be able to ship our own agent, but that won't happen before not all existing bugs are fixed towards the first stable release.



Automation tools such as puppet can easily deploy such snippets
from your central configuration entity, if it exists.


FWIW, I've been rather underwhelmed by Puppet so far.  CFEngine has
been a much better experience for me.  (Totally off-topic.)

Religious discussion. My employer uses puppet, my previous employer used CFEngine. I love the puppet provisioner of vagrant allowing me to easily put demos and test vms for our (icinga 2) development.

So replace puppet with the automation tool of your choice.
