Hello,
I configured the Background Checks as described here :
https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-for-windows/latest/doc/110-Installation/06-Collect-Metrics-over-Time/
and got them working as expected. Although I did not found any documentation on how to set thresholds for example for “load15m”. Can anyone point me to the documentation?
Whats more important though is, after getting background checks to work, I enabled the “API Check Forwarder” as documented here : “API Check Forwarder - Icinga for Windows”. As soon as I enabled that the background checks don’t work anymore.
The Output of Invoke-IcingaCheckCPU with enabled API Checks is :
[OK] CPU Load
\_ [OK] Top 10 Process CPU usage
\_ [OK] Process Data: No process with high CPU usage found
| '0_2::ifw_cpu::load'=11.72908%;;;0;100 '0_3::ifw_cpu::load'=13.93865%;;;0;100 'totalload::ifw_cpu::load'=12.685832%;;;0;100 '0_total::ifw_cpu::load'=12.685832%;;;0;100 '0_0::ifw_cpu::load'=13.38949%;;;0;100 '0_1::ifw_cpu::load'=11.68611%;;;0;100

It is missing the load5, load10 and load15 values. If i execute Disable-IcingaFrameworkApiChecks the output changes to :
[OK] CPU Load
\_ [OK] Top 10 Process CPU usage

so it seems to me that the api check override the background checks. Is there any way to use both at the same time? Especially since the API Check documentation mentions ’ This is a huge performance boost and should be mandatory on all Windows machines.’
