Hello,
I found a topic about needed subscription for package for AlmaLinux from. The topic was 8 month old. Is something changed for AlmaLinux?
I have test client running on AlmaLinux, are the checks working in same way as for rhel and debian?
I am really new and my expirince in Icinga2 kinda low. How do i set up checks for AlmaLinux clients?
Currently AlmaLinux versie is 9.4
As AlmaLinux is binary-compatible with RHEL, you should be able to use the official Icinga 2 packages for RHEL on it. This information is also posted here: Icinga » Subscriptions » Support Matrix
In general, the check plugins should be independent of the Linux distribution or even operating system they are running on. There are, of course, exceptions, e.g., running check_apt on AlmaLinux does not really make sense.
For starters, follow the Icinga 2 RHEL installation guide, at least until the “Set up Check Plugins” section, as the later sections are more about an Icinga 2 monitoring server.
Afterwards, follow the documentation further. Maybe take a look at Agent Monitoring. Please take in mind that most information is OS-independent.
Ok thank you for the information, i wil check it out.
The checks aren’t really part of Icinga2 itself as every check is a independent script/program. A lot of the common checks come packaged by the distribution and are preconfigured via the Icinga Template Library.
BTW, I can recommend you the monitoring-plugins of the Linuxfabrik.
