Own checks downt work after update agent to 2.14.2

Service Monitoring
1

I have updated the Icinga agent. Since then, one of my own powershell check no longer works. In the plugin output from the icinga console I have the user with “whoami” included. After the update it is “nt authority network service”. In the old version “authority\system” is used. Was this changed intentionally? Can I configure that somewhere? Service Icinga Powershell Service and Icinga2 run as a system.
Version updated (Icinga Agent from 2.13.7 to 2.14.2) (icinga powershell Framework form 1.10.1 to 1.12.3)
Plugin Output the red marked ist the “whoami” command

Maybe you can just start the Icinga service as “nt authority/system”.

and also the powershell service

This is likely on purpose nt authority/network service is the (unloved) default, since nt authority/system is the root user, which can do ALL the damage it wants.
You probably change the user with Set-IcingaServiceUser. Depending on what your Monitoring Plugin does, activating JEA is what you want, so the icinga components get their own user (does not work on domain controllers).

Now I see it. My Services GUI does not update - not even after the refresh until after the restart. With powershell I can see it directly

Nevertheless, that must have changed after the update. I use the same script to install the agent.

Thanks for your help. I will test the JEA.

I just see that I even set the user to system in my installation script. But that doesn’t seem to be accepted.

The command set-icingaserviceuser don`t work with the new client

With the old client the command works

the method is also deprecated since 1.10:

We have decided to now officially deprecate the previous installation method Start-IcingaAgentInstallWizard. It hasn’t been updated or promoted in a long time and all new features have been moved to the Icinga Management Console. Please update your installation method to the new solution. The old method will be removed in a future release.
