Here's a hint for *any* Icinga2 system as soon as you start using the Master - 
Satellite - Client hierarchy:

 - rename /etc/icinga2/conf.d to something like /etc/icinga2/conf.d.dist (it 
doesn't really matter what, just change its name)

 - create a new, empty /etc/icinga2/conf.d and leave it empty

 - do this on *every* machine in your network (Master, Satellite/s, Client/s - 
all of them)

Then create one directory per Zone name under /etc/icinga2/zones.d and put all 
the configuration files (such as the Host definitions) which are specific to 
that 
Zone in there - you can name the files anything you like so long as they end in 
.conf


Second hint - make sure all machines in your network have an entry in 
/etc/icinga2/zones.conf:

object Zone "global-templates" { global = true }

 - then put any Service and ServiceCheck definitions (not Hosts) which apply to 
more than one Zone into files under /etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates 
(again, you can name these anything you like so long as they end in .conf)

*That* is the way Icinga distributes top-down configurations to the Satellites 
and Clients.


Hope that helps,


Antony.
