Global template problem

Icinga 2
1

Hi

I’ve a problem with global template and/or my structure.

/etc/icinga2/zones.d # ll
zone1
zone2
global-templates

global-templates contains my differents services, example

/etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/packs
/etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/packs/service1



cat /etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/packs/service1/templates.conf
template Host "service1-host" {
    // templates to use
    import "generic-host"
    // object vars
    XXXX
}

With config:

ll -d /etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/packs/service1
services
templates.conf
services/service1.conf

Then I’ve added with API some hosts with this service:

cat /var/lib/icinga2/api/packages/_api/XXXXXXXXX/conf.d/hosts/host1.conf
object Host "host1" {
        import "service1-host"
        import "generic-host"
        address = "XX.XX.XX.XX"
        vars = {
        }
        version = 1578994440.580861
        zone = "zone1"
}

API created this object with success.

But when i restart icinga2, on my satellite of zone1 I have:

/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log.1:/var/lib/icinga2/api/packages/_api/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/conf.d/hosts/host1.conf(2): import "service1-host"
/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log.1:[2020-01-13 13:18:10 +0100] critical/ApiListener: Error: Import references unknown template: 'service1-host’

If I look on

/var/lib/icinga2/api/zones-stage/global-templates/_etc/packs/oco/templates.conf

My service service1-host is present

I’ve activated global-templates in my config in /etc/icinga2/zones.conf

/* global templates for top down sync config */
object Zone "global-templates" {
  global = true
}

Then I can precise that icinga2 daemon --validate reports no error for this service1-host

Is there anything I miss?
Thanks for help

I’m confused.

Does you satellite in zone1 have the global-templates zone in their zones.conf file?

Side note: You don’t need to import the generic-host template to the host1 host, because it is already imported by the service1-host template

Thanks for answer

Yes
/etc/icinga2/zones.conf on satellite
contains all the config (master, satellite, …) and:

/* global templates for top down sync config */
object Zone "global-templates" {
  global = true
}

Thanks for note

What does the API say when you query it for the template?
https://icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/12-icinga2-api/#icinga2-api-config-templates-query

On my master:

curl -k -s -u “admin:${PASSWORD_API_ADMIN}” ‘https://localhost:5665/v1/templates/hosts’

I can retrieve my template here: (and others)

    {   
        "location": {
            "first_column": 0.0,
            "first_line": 1.0,
            "last_column": 23.0,
            "last_line": 1.0,
            "path": "/etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/packs/service1/templates.conf"
        },
        "name": "service1-host",
        "type": "Host"
    },

I thought the problem.

In fact on my satellites I had some config on

/etc/icinga2/conf.d/templates.conf
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts.conf
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/timeperiods.conf

But this config was duplicated by new conf I have added on:

/etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/

(on master)

In fact icinga2 restarted with success on master and satellite but I thought errors on:

/var/lib/icinga2/api/zones-stage//startup.log

Now my template service1 and others are working.

Thanks for help!
