Hi! I am trying to set up an icinga agent using Icinga for Windows, using a selv Service API key, and running the provided PS-script from agent-tab within Icinga director host template. To my understanding it should setup the agent automatically within Icinga director, but when I am running the script in PS on my Windows Server 2016, I get the following error:
[Notice]: Host seems already to be registered within Icinga Director. Trying local Api key if present
[Notice]: No local Api key was found and using your provided template key failed. Please ensure the host is not already registered and drop the set Self-Service key within the Icinga Director for this host.

I know im getting a notice about the host already being registered in Director, but im getting that on multiple servers that has never had icinga agent installed, and I havent added them on my master node. I Believe the error is of a different nature, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Any helpful suggestions on how to proceed or troubleshoot?
Icinga2 version: 2.14.0-1
The self service api whats to register the host using template key.
- If it has a template without any key and you want to use any templater the registration process fails
- If the host has an api key the registration process fails (previously registered).
Try to use the template key of a template assigned to that host
Hmm im not sure I follow a 100%. Should I create a host in the Director, before I try to run the powershell script?
I dont think the host has an api-key, I tried this:
PS C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework> Show-IcingaDirecorSelfServiceKey
[Warning]: There is no Self-Service Api key configured on this system
So to me it seems as if none is fetched through the installation
I don’t see any hosts created in on my master, but the issue remains. Do you maybe have any suggestions on how to proceed in my scenario?
this indicates that there is a host with the same name in icinga director, is that true?
If I look inside icinga Director it is completely blank:
what is on your template page?
This is on my template page:
With this on the agent tab of the template:
strange, what’s your director version?
Director version is: 1.11.0
what are your settings in
/icingaweb2/director/settings/self-service
?
can you repeat the installation process.
first do “Uninstall-IcingaForWindows” in your powershell
then use Start-Transcript
then perform the install
anonymize the file but since you only use a local ip and the template key can be changed this shouldn’t be an issue
post the transcipt
Here is the transcipt, Hope it is ok with the formatting, can’t seem to get it right, and it makes “Code-boxes” itself:

Hey @moreamazingnick ! Did you fall out of ideas? Could there perhaps be issues with a Firewall somewhere, that hinderes communication?
can the agent access the port (in your case port 80) of the machine which hosts icinga director?
I believe so, wouldn’t this suggest so?:
here I tried to connect to master on port 80
