Newbie question - ping4 in satellite zone overdue

Hi all,

I’ve been looking at this problem for hours now and just cannot find what is wrong.

I have a master and a satellite. In the satellite’s location are a Linux and Windows machine. The satellite, Linux and Windows machine all have a ping 4 service defined. Alle three of them are marked overdue, although all three machines are marked Up.

The master and the machines in the master’s location are working as expected.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Kind regards,

Ralph

Hi & welcome Ralph,

please share the host & service config of the problematic checks.
Otherwise this would be just wild guesswork :wink:

Hi log1c,

Thanks for the reply. I’m using director, so I’ll do my very best to provide the info. I get the host info (from the master) with the icinga2 object list command:

I hope this is the info you requested. As said, newbee…

If I need to provide more info, please let me know.

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

One extra remark,

the windows machine in de satellite zone has a disk-windows service defined and that one seems to be working fine:

hi, you should share your configfiles, they are a lot easier to read.

is your checker feature enabled on the satelites?

Hi Rafael,

thank you. This is de config on the satellite:

root@icinga2-satellite-GE2:~# icinga2 feature list
Disabled features: command compatlog debuglog elasticsearch gelf graphite icingadb influxdb influxdb2 journald livestatus notification opentsdb perfdata syslog
Enabled features: api checker mainlog

I would be happy to share the config files, but I’m using Director, so could you please point me in the right direction on where to find these files? I’m under the impression that /etc/icinga2/… does not contain all the data…

Regards,

Ralph.

/var/lib/icinga2/api/… this folder is under programdata in windows. If you use the agents as satelites, i find it quite hard to configure zones with the director. I always configure the zones on the satelites and master for myself. Where i define the master zone, his satellitezone and the globla zones. I’am pretty sure this was official best practise a while ago, but i can be wrong. If you run the director kickstart wizard afterwards, director will learn about the new satellite.

You can use the “Preview” tab there to view the rendered config.

Correct. Only the config master should have configuration under /etc/icinga2/zones.d or /etc/icinga2/conf.d
see: Technical Concepts - Icinga 2

@Ralph please check the markdown guide for future posts to improve readability. You might also want to remove sensitive information (like fqdns) from your post.

Correct. Defining the master/satellite/global zones in the zones.conf files on the respective systems is the way to go.
Doing that in the Director can lead to problems.

As to the problem:

Both are service config from the default conf.d/services.conf file. This is basically just an example check file.

Recommendation would be to not use any of the default configs under conf.d (the icinga2 node wizard should disable the import of those files by default) and define them in the Director or move the file to the zones.d/<satellite zone> directory, that should work.

Hi Log1c,

Thank you very much! Removing the apply for the conf.d/services.conf file and moving it to director:

zones.d/director-global/service_apply.conf
apply Service "Ping4" {
    check_command = "ping4"
    max_check_attempts = "3"
    check_interval = 5m
    retry_interval = 1m
    enable_perfdata = true
    assign where host.address

    import DirectorOverrideTemplate
}

did the trick!

Thank you very much. Learning every day…

Kind regards,

Ralph.
