My issue isn't easily described in a few config snippets, that's why i didn't 
include any so far. But i'll try to describe my implementation as close as 
possible.

Masses of text are nice, but think about that - nobody sees your shell, your 
configuration, your logs. I have a hard time imaginating how it looks like, and 
how the timining points for the notifications happen. Presumingly it's best to 
get access to your system, but I don't do that, that's something for my 
employer :)

And yes, it's not easy. But it certainly requires _you_ to show _us_ every 
single detail.

I'll wait for those parts, maybe you've found a bug and we'll nail it down. 
Though i think it is a wrong configuration at this time.

Kind regards,
Michael


Let's assume we have 3 sites (a, b and c).
Site a is running the parent zone, we call it "root" (and also a global configuration zone called 
"global-config"), the endpoint is called "master".

Endpoint "satellite-b" is running zone "site-b" whose parent is my zone "root".

Endpoint "satellite-c" is running zone "site-c" whose parent is my zone "root" 
as well.

All config is done on my endpoint "master" (in the corresponding zone directories), which is 
replicated to my endpoints "satellite-b" and "satellite-c".

Each satellite is only monitoring other systems at its local site. Additionally, i would 
like all notifications related to systems at site b to be sent from "satellite 
b".
Same goes for site c, all notifications related to systems at site c should be sent from 
"satellite c",

I've put all notification apply rules in each zone for each site, assuming that 
the notifications will be executed by the endpoint which is located in that 
zone.

This leads me to my main issue, sometimes notifications for a host at site b or c are being sent 
out by my _master_ endpoint, but i would have expected that only "satellite-b" should 
send notifications for zone "site-b".

Strangely enough, it appears very random if a single notification is being sent from 
master or the "correct" satellite.

As of now, i have only found 2 ways of making sure that the master won't send 
any unexpected notifications:
- disable notification feature on master (not cool)
- using the following expression in my notification apply rule: assign where ZoneName == 
"site-b"

The second way isn't really nice either, since the master doesn't know about 
any notifications happening in the child zones. Also i regularly see messages 
like these in my master log:
- checking for notifications for checkable xyz
- checkable xyz does not have any notifications

So i'm searching for the proper way to make sure that master won't send notifications for zones 
"site-b" and "site-c".

If my descriptions should not suffice, please let me know what more info i can 
provide.

Regards,
Markus

It appears i spoke to soon.
This behaviour is really weird and sort of erratic.

After a few reloads of Icinga2 on my master and the endpoints, i am now 
receiving notifications from my master again.
This time, master and satellite seem to take turns in sending the notifications 
(1 from the master, 1 from the satellite, and so on).

I'd really appreciate some feedback regarding this.

Regards,
Markus

Subject: Re: [icinga-users] Restrict notifications to one specific (satellite) 
endpoint

Hi list,

this is just a follow-up to my previous issue with restricting notifications to 
the proper endpoints since i might have found the reason for this behaviour.

A quick recap:
- i'm running a distributed setup with a global-config zone which holds 
templates, commands and such
- the cluster master should only monitor all its child endpoints, the actual 
host and service monitoring should be performed by the endpoints in their zones
- when assigning Notification objects to hosts, the cluster master would always 
send *some* of the notifications

The workaround (by using: assign where ZoneName == ...) helped so far that the 
notifications were always sent by the correct endpoint, but without the master 
"knowing" about them.
(There was no notification object visible on the master using "icinga2 object list 
--type Notification", all GUIs always showed 0 notifications for the hosts and 
services being monitored from my satellites.)

Today i disabled the import of the mail-host-notification template (which was 
defined in my global-config zone) and voila, notifications were only sent from 
the correct endpoint.

My theory is that somehow the master thinks he is responsible for a 
notification because its template is defined in the global-config zone.
Could that be the case? Would that be a desired behaviour or a bug?

Looking forward to a reply :)

Regards,
Markus

Markus,

thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction!

Whilst using host.zone did not change the behaviour, i've been able to restrict 
the notifications to specific endpoint(s) by applying the notifications using 
constants as such:

apply Notification "host-notify-by-mail" to Host {
 [...]
 assign where host.vars.notification.mail && ZoneName == "satellite-zone-2"
}

(using NodeName instead of ZoneName works as well)

Best regards,
Markus

That should be doable with different notification rules for master and
satellite, or a const helper.

The attribute host.zone is internally set due to the zones loading.

apply Notification ... {
  ...
  assign where host.zone == "master"
  //assign where host.zone == ZoneName
}

Have not tested this!

But please try and give us feedback.

Cheers from FOSDEM :)
Markus
