That will never happen, this decision was made more than five years ago. It not
only is a technical one of course, change and improvements can only happen if
you insist on one way doing things right. Look into the possibilities you’ll
get with the Icinga 2 DSL, the most easiest one is a service check of yours
applied to all hosts.
object Host “http-host” {
check_command = “hostalive”
address = “…"
vars.http_vhost = “yourdomain"
}
apply Service “https yourdomain” {
check_command = “http”
assign where match(“*domain*”, host.vars.http_vhost)
}
I also wouldn’t recommend to use nagiosgraph, it is dated and modern metric
collection tools focus on the shiny Grafana frontend with Graphite/InfluxDB as
TSDB. If you really want to go the RRDTool way, PNP might be a choice, although
its development isn’t that active.
Icinga 1.x has lived for nearly 10 years now, by the end of 2018 it will go
officially out of support. That’s bad for Debian upstream, still, there’s no
resources nor effort for 1.x anymore on the Icinga project.
I’d suggest to learn about Icinga 2 and start with a simple scenario. Also,
skip the mailing lists and hop onto monitoring-portal.org where you’ll find
many more community members who may help and assist your questions.
Cheers,
Michael
