thanks for your reply with this excellent explanation. It helps me to
understand the concept how Icinga works.

It's now clear that the Icinga agent is an installation of Icinga that acts as
satellite. It's nothing different.

I see. I just do not understand yet how new commands are added to a satellite.
There must be some binary or script on the satellite that needs to be executed.
Will this be configured on the master and/or satellite with top-down?

The node wizard will setup all the certificate stuff, that's why I want to use
it. When using top-down, there might be something messed up with the
configuration after the wizard has been executed on the satellite. I not fully
understand this.

The host definition is done by the node wizard. I rewrote some parts of the
configuration today for using the top-down approach. I now found that the
master generated in /var/lib/icinga2 these files:
./api/zones/HOST/_etc/hosts.conf
./api/zones/HOST/_etc/services.conf
I just do not understand why the content of these files cannot be found on the
satellite.

This gave me a useful error message. It told me that two defintions tried to
activate the ssh check. Was able to fix that.
