Hi,
I have to monitor about 1500 “nodes” (hosts), the main constraint is that icinga2 can’t reach hosts.
However, each host can send data to icinga.
On each host, a service is configured to send a POST to /v1/actions/process-check-result every 2 minutes.
I’ve tried to setup hosts with dummy or passive command as check_command, with template like:
template Host "test_dummy_template" {
check_command = "dummy"
max_check_attempts = "1"
check_interval = 2m
retry_interval = 2m
check_timeout = 2m
enable_active_checks = false
enable_passive_checks = true
vars.dummy_state = 2
vars.dummy_text = "No news from this site"
}
And host like that:
object Host "test_dummy_host" {
check_command = "dummy"
max_check_attempts = "1"
check_interval = 2m
retry_interval = 2m
check_timeout = 2m
enable_active_checks = false
enable_passive_checks = true
vars.dummy_state = 2
vars.dummy_text = "No news from this site"
}
Every 120s, each host send check results with these datas:
POST /v1/actions/process-check-result?host=test_dummy_host HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 122
Content-Type: application/json
Host: X.X.X.X:5665
User-Agent: HTTPie/2.6.0
{
"check_source": "icingaserver",
"exit_status": "0",
"plugin_output": "PING OK",
"ttl": "120",
"type": "Host"
}
Just after the first configuration, the host state is “unknown”, when icinga receive the POST action, the host go to OK.
My problem is, if I stop the process who send the POST actions, the line “Last update” go red, but the host remain “OK”:
The behaviour I try to setup is: “the host remains green as long as icinga receives check-results, in the absence of check-results the host goes to fail”
I have too questions:
- Is the behavior I want to obtain possible with Icinga?
- What part of the functioning I did not understand or not well configured?
I hope that my explanations are clear, good day to all,
Best regards,
