Hello everyone!
I’m trying to configure Icinga to get notifications with a telegram bot. I have followed the following links:
Tutorial:
https://www.srcbox.net/posts/monitoring-notifications-via-telegram/
Topic:
But I think I’m having some concept problems, I have a main server called “Monitor” and a few satellite servers that I monitor with the main one.
I have configured what is shown in the tutorial on both the main one and one of the satellites to test since I did not know which of the two it should be on.
The files on the main one (Monitor) are:
/etc/icinga2/constants.conf
const TelegramBotToken = "${00000000000}$"
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/notifications.conf
apply Notification "telegram-notification" to Host {
import "telegram-host-notification"
user_groups = host.vars.notification.telegram.groups
users = host.vars.notification.telegram.users
assign where host.vars.notification.telegram
}
apply Notification "telegram-notification" to Service {
import "telegram-service-notification"
user_groups = host.vars.notification.telegram.groups
users = host.vars.notification.telegram.users
assign where host.vars.notification.telegram
}
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts.conf
object Host NodeName {
/* Import the default host template defined in `templates.conf`. */
import "generic-host"
{Other things.....}
vars.notification["telegram"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/commands.conf
object NotificationCommand "telegram-host-notification" {
import "plugin-notification-command"
command = [ SysconfDir + "/icinga2/scripts/telegram-host-notification.sh" ]
env = {
NOTIFICATIONTYPE = "$notification.type$"
HOSTALIAS = "$host.display_name$"
HOSTADDRESS = "$address$"
HOSTSTATE = "$host.state$"
LONGDATETIME = "$icinga.long_date_time$"
HOSTOUTPUT = "$host.output$"
NOTIFICATIONAUTHORNAME = "$notification.author$"
NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT = "$notification.comment$"
HOSTDISPLAYNAME = "$host.display_name$"
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = TelegramBotToken
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = "$user.vars.telegram_chat_id$"
}
}
object NotificationCommand "telegram-service-notification" {
import "plugin-notification-command"
command = [ SysconfDir + "/icinga2/scripts/telegram-service-notification.sh" ]
env = {
NOTIFICATIONTYPE = "$notification.type$"
SERVICEDESC = "$service.name$"
HOSTALIAS = "$host.display_name$"
HOSTADDRESS = "$address$"
SERVICESTATE = "$service.state$"
LONGDATETIME = "$icinga.long_date_time$"
SERVICEOUTPUT = "$service.output$"
NOTIFICATIONAUTHORNAME = "$notification.author$"
NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT = "$notification.comment$"
HOSTDISPLAYNAME = "$host.display_name$"
SERVICEDISPLAYNAME = "$service.display_name$"
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = TelegramBotToken
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = "$user.vars.telegram_chat_id$"
}
}
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/templates.conf
template Notification "telegram-host-notification" {
command = "telegram-host-notification"
states = [ Up, Down ]
types = [ Problem, Acknowledgement, Recovery, Custom,
FlappingStart, FlappingEnd,
DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd, DowntimeRemoved ]
period = "24x7"
}
template Notification "telegram-service-notification" {
command = "telegram-service-notification"
states = [ Up, Down ]
types = [ Problem, Acknowledgement, Recovery, Custom,
FlappingStart, FlappingEnd,
DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd, DowntimeRemoved ]
period = "24x7"
}
/etc/icinga2/conf.d/users.conf
object User "icingaadmin" {
import "generic-user"
display_name = "Icinga 2 Admin"
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
email = "root@localhost"
vars.telegram_chat_id = "-0000000000"
}
object UserGroup "icingaadmins" {
display_name = "Icinga 2 Admin Group"
}
The scripts telegram-host-notification.sh and telegram-service-notification.sh are the same as in the tutorial and they have the right permissions or I think so 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4359 Jul 17 2018 mail-host-notification.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4759 Dec 29 15:34 mail-service-notification.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 556 Dec 29 15:37 telegram-host-notification.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 619 Dec 29 15:40 telegram-service-notification.sh
I have enabled the debug “log icinga2 feature enable debug log”, but I don’t see anything about telegram on it.
The bot has permissions and the tokens are fine since with curl or executing the scripts on purpose I get notifications.
Finally,I don’t know if I’m posing it incorrectly and for example I should also edit the satellite server that I’m using for testing from /etc/icinga2/zones.d/master/hosts or if I’m debugging wrong
Thank you so much!
