Hi Antony,
these hints are very important for me. I was now able to change my setup with
your hints and the configuration is synced to the satellite. I was also able to
setup everything needed to execute the basic checks. I identifed a problem in
the Icinga log with the firewall preventing the master to talk to the
satellite. This is all fixed now.
I have two problems left:
1) I am not sure where I should place the ping4/6 checks. I want the master to
ping all hosts with address/address6 entries. I tried to add these checks
inside the master zone folder. The checks show up in icingaweb2, but they are
not sheduled and still waiting.
2) When I shutdown Icinga on the satellite, the master will show nothing in
red. I understand that this is intended as of when the satellite comes up again
it might pass all queued data to the master. Nevertheless I like to know when a
satellite stops reporting, the Icinga process might have crashed if the rest of
the host is still up. Checks aren't executed then.
Regards
Volker
Viele Grüße
