Environments for all check commands

Icinga 2
1

Hi,

I’d like to set an environment variable (LANG=“en_US.UTF-8”) for all check commands in order to handle non ascii characters within with python2 checks.

There is the import “plugin-check-command” statement in all of my custom commands, so I would except it makes sense to put it in there. Unfortunately I cannot find the configuration for plugin-check-command.

Is there a recommended may to set environment variables for all commands?

Hi,

thank you. It works.

For my specific use case I had to use:

template CheckCommand “utf8_python” default {
env.PYTHONIOENCODING = “UTF-8”
}
