Newbie question - ping4 in satellite zone overdue

[log1c]

@Ralph

I’m using director

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

@Ralph

I’m under the impression that /etc/icinga2/… does not contain all the data…

Correct. Only the config master should have configuration under /etc/icinga2/zones.d or /etc/icinga2/conf.d

@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.

@unic

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.

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:

@Ralph

Object 'icinga2-satellite-GE2.gbmeubelen.nl!ping4' of type 'Service':
  % declared in '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/services.conf'

@Ralph

And this of the machine in the satellite zone:

Object 'BackupFromGE2.gbmeubelen.nl!ping4' of type 'Service':
  % declared in '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/services.conf',

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.
