Customer var for load not really working

Icinga Web
1

Hi,
I have set the following load parameter in /etc/icinga2/zones.d/master/services_default.conf
apply Service “load”{
import “generic-service”
check_command = “load”
command_endpoint = host.vars.client_endpoint
vars.load_wload1 = 15
vars.load_wload5 = 17
vars.load_wload15 = 19
vars.load_cload1 = 21
vars.load_cload5 = 23
vars.load_cload15 = 25
assign where host.vars.host_group == “ep-production-middle”

}

and in /etc/icinga2/zones.d/master/production/prodmiddle1.conf
…
vars.host_group = “ep-production-middle”
vars.load[“load”] = {}
…

But this monitor is flapping. between the value above and the default values ?
Does anybody have an idea whats going on here???

Hi,

I just saw it a few weeks ago when someone reached out to me with the same problem. Do you have 2 load services enabled for that host by any chance? Maybe you include the conf.d/ directory and therefore have 2 load services applied. One uses the default thresholds and the one with the custom thresholds.

Depends a bit on the setup but this sounds very suspicious. :slight_smile:

Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
jeep this was also my first thought but there is no additional service for the load :frowning:

Hi,
I found the problem. On the client “hostgroup = ep-middle” the was also a service file under /etc/icinga2/conf.d. I removed the file and now it OK.
My question now: Why das the client use the local config???

Maybe the entry in icinga2.conf to include conf.d was still intact. With using the node wizard CLI command, this gets disabled in newer versions.

Hi,
yes you`re right. The was an entry in icinga2.conf with "include_recursive “conf.d”.

Can I comment this out on all Servers without any problems?

For command_endpoint agents, we recommend to comment/remove this include directive, yes.

Sorry, should have made clear that I assumed the include of the conf.d folder to be present on the clients, not on the master nodes. Glad you have resolved your nonetheless. :slight_smile:
