Satellite stuck in PENDING state

Hello communitiy,

as the caption describes, I have trouble getting a satellite up and running.

I installed an Icinga instance on an Ubuntu Server 20.04.
After setting everything up, I ran successfully the node wizard for satellites.

Everything works fine except the services - even the hostalive.

pending

My master is also installed on an Ubuntu Server 20.04.
Both the master and satellite are running the Version r2.13.2-1.

Here is the zones.conf from the master:

Here is the zones.conf from the satellite:

Do you have an idea, why it doesn’t work as expected?

Maybe this is a clue: When I inspect the satellite via director I receive on the zones tab a suspicious “The configuration for this object has not been rendered by Icinga Director. You can find it on line 18 in /etc/icinga2/zones.conf”

Greetings and Thanks!
Gabriel

Certificate is signed? Time synchronization is ok? Any hints in the icinga2.log both master and satellite?

Hello Roland,

I assume, that the certificate is signed, because I generated a token from the master a passed it in to node wizard on the satellite.

A “netstat taupen” outputs an established connection between the master an satellite.

Time synchronization was not right. I just corrected it, but no change.

This is the icinga2.log of the master (with grep IP-Address of the satellite):

Sounds weird since your config shows that the satellite shall connect to the master. Anyway, connect is not allowed. API is enabled?

The API ist enabled, on both sides.

I can deploy successfully configs to the satellite via director.

Greetings and thanks

The service Linux Disk is defined twice. One in linux-agents and another one in director-global, but I have no idea how this is possible (since we don’t use the director for services). Hopefully, someelse can jump in and explain.

Thanks for your opinion.

I think that almost all configuration config is done via director-global :sweat_smile:

So I ask myself rather, why this service template is deployed over the linux-agents zone.
The GUI displays it as an object of director-global:

Can I simply delete the template definition out of “/var/lib/icinga2/api/zones/linux-agents/director/service_templates.conf” from the master?
Or is this the wrong place?

You can delete it. But most properly it will be recreated with the next deploy run.

After I deleted the template, it surprisingly wasn’t recreated again.
I assume that the definition in linux-agents was a leftover.

After I restarted and re-deployed everything, the satellite responds valid values.

services

But I really don’t know, why it says that the satellite zone is not connected :smiling_face_with_tear:

To me it looks like your satellite checks if it is connected to itself.
