Hi, I don’t know if this has been asked before, but I’m looking for a way of setting up a Icinga2 cluster in an environment where there isn’t TCP connectivity between the various hosts that need their processes monitored.
The scenario is one where there are host machines (which are networked) each of which have a number of virtual containers running on them. (In my case, they are FreeBSD machines with ‘jails’ on them, which are a bit like linux containers). What I’d like to do is to have satellites on each host machine, communicating with clients on each of the jail/containers. Here’s the tricky bit, each of the containers are isolated from the host’s network (they are on IP network, but they are running separate IP stacks routed to the outside world separate from the host management network for security). What I can do is get IPC between the host and the jails via unix domain sockets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket). It doesn’t look like Icinga2 clients can be set to listen on domain sockets instead of TCP sockets; that’s understandable because domain sockets only live on a single host, and traditionally (without containers) there would be no valid use case to have an Icinga master and a Icinga slave on the same host. However, my use case is valid, and I’m wondering how best to set it up. My current though is to set up a pair of connected domain sockets, and then use a TCP proxy to bridge between the an socket on localhost on each end, and point Icinga to that… Has anyone here thought about this? Any pointers would be gratefully received.
