Hi,
I was able to solve this one, too:

I added to the master zone the following Service check:
object Service "cluster" {
check_command = "cluster"
check_interval = 5s
retry_interval = 1s
host_name =
Hi,
I was able to find an answer for this question:
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
Hi Peter,
- comment the line saying 'include_recursive "conf.d"' at the end of
/etc/icinga2.conf
so there isn'a a mythical directory in the hierarchy that needs to be
kept empty. Things like that WILL backfire sooner or later when you
don't expect it.
it's a good point that it might be better

Hi @ll,
I strongly opt for Peters approach, that's in fact how I configure all
my systems. The problem with conf.d is that it contains files provided
by upstream. Depending on your package manager the next upgrade might
re-create files you formerly deleted - and you're doomed.

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

Oh, I know the docs (I read this bit when it was still 2.5) said that top-down
was far more commonly used, but I didn't know bottom-up had

I just read that the new 2.6 docs top-down is recommended and bottom up has

Hi,
I'm new to Icinga. I like to migrate my Nagios to Icinga 2, because it fits my
needs better. I already did some initial tests and I have some questions about
doing things with Icinga in best practice.
