Checks without hosts

Hey everybody,

I want to do some overall checks, which shouldn’t be attached to a host. For example I want to check for any failures on my vCenter (basically what icingacli vspheredb check hosts does). But there is and will be more checks without attaching them to a host that I would like to perform. Is that possible? And if it is, can anyone tell me a way to do it?

checks need a host, but you can create a host named super-special-service-helper-host1 and attach the services to that host.

if you use icinga director the super-special-service-helper-host set the attribute: Icinga2 Agent => NO
These checks are executed on the icinga-master-node which is necessary for the icingacli to work
