Default Icinga2 installation comes with /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/localhost.conf, being host definition:object Host "localhost" { import "generic-host" address = "127.0.0.1" address6 = "::1" vars.os = "Linux" vars.sla = "24x7" } It also comes with some services defined for this host, in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/localhost/ directory - for example, /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/localhost/load.conf (other being apt.conf, disk.conf, http.conf etc.): object Service "load" { import "generic-service" host_name = "localhost" check_command = "load" vars.sla = "24x7" } As it is logical for just one host, it implicates quite many config edits if we want to add more hosts with a similar approach:
The provided sample configuration really is an _example_ for a single host. while the service.conf file already holds a general apply definition. While it may not be reasonable to just use the "single host with services" style, there are certain users and tools organizing the configuration like that. Since this is a complicated topic for starters, there's adedicated section on configuration best practices on the documentation: http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/monitoring-basics#configuration-best-practice Kind regards, Michael
1) we have to add /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/server1.example.com.conf file for every new server (it is OK) 2) we have to add a new directory, /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/server1.example.com/ with service definitions apt.conf, disk.conf, http.conf etc.) (it is OK) 3) we have to correct "host_name = " line in every service definition in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/server1.example.com/ - it can be quite a lot of changes, error-prone, if edited manually What are better approaches to achieve the same effect? Say, is it possible to just copy a directory with service definitions in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts/server1.example.com/ for ever new host, but to use some special variable like "host_name = $server$"?
