#icinga — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #icinga, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Hmm, so my #icinga instance detects #dns issues for some .de domains related to infrastructure via check_dnssec_expiry (thanks to @mario) but I can't do anything. At least I don't have to open a support ticket with the domain provider. #denic

  2. arriving very late to the "how to pronounce #icinga" party

    how late, you say? .wma late

  3. Got the green light at work to begin working on migrating out Icinga monitoring from V1 to V2.

    Going to fun getting all ~1600 hosts converted and imported.

    Thankfully we can run the two in parallel, so we won't lose any monitoring. Though the long term plan will be to strip out NRPE and replace it with Icinga 2 Agent

    #icinga #monitoring #migration #sysadmin

  4. You know what? The http 500 errors were not the fault of the provider but the Icinga API responses. When you delete a host group that you don't have permission to delete, the status is not 403 as it should be but 404 No objects found. What's the point of deleting a missing object? There is no way to know if you have permission or not. This "security" feature is so annoying. If you create the resource again, you have a 500 error without error message because the object already exists. I'm going to patch my fork to handle those use cases.

    #icinga

  5. Even if the project seems dead, I have created the pull requests anyway:

    - github.com/lrsmith/go-icinga2-
    - github.com/lrsmith/go-icinga2-

    If there is any Icinga maintainer that would like to fork this library to make it official, I would love to contribute to this fork 🙏

    #icinga #go

  6. It's the other way around. The one from openHPI is not maintained while the official is. But the official misses the "zone" attribute to create hosts. And there is no downtime. So I have created and published a fork registry.terraform.io/provider

    I knew I needed to create my own version to fix the issues we had in the past but I didn't remember the details.

    After a whole day of switching thousands of servers to my new provider, the issues came to life. When the API times out, the plan fails but the host is created. At the second run, Terraform tries to create the host because it doesn't exist in the state but Icinga returns a 500 Internal Server Error because the host already exists. The solution is to remove the host from Icinga then apply again.

    I will not do this for the last 52 plans in error with more or less 100 servers. No. I don't know if it's idiomatic to Terraform but I don't care, I will run a GET before creation and create only if it doesn't exist. Same for deletion. This will ease the life of our team having to deal with the flacky API at some point.

    I will contribute back to the upstream project of course. If it's refused, no worries, I'll keep my own version.

    #icinga #terraform

  7. I have finally managed to develop a Terraform provider locally to add a feature we miss for a long time on Icinga.

    Unfortunately, the Icinga provider doesn't seem to be maintained so I'll patch the one we use, from openHPI, and hope it'll get merged. If not, we'll probably create another fork.

  13. @homelab_de

    Dieses Wochenende stand die Einrichtung von Grafana, InfluxDB3 und Telegraf im Homelab an.

    Grafana und InfluxDB3 als Container, Telegraf nativ.

    Hintergrund ist die Entscheidung von Icinga nur gegen einen Obulus von 5000€ pro Jahr Zugriff auf deren RPM-Pakete für RockyLinux, RHEL, etc zu gewähren.

    Bis jetzt habe ich beruflich immer Nagios Monitoring Tools eingesetzt.
    Jetzt möchte ich Grafana vom Beiwerk für schöne Visualisierungen in Icinga zum voll ausgebauten Monitoring Tool befördern und später auch die Alarmierung testen.

    Demnächst installiere ich noch Elasticsearch, Kibana und die Beats bzw. den Elastic-Agent um Daten zu erfassen und erstelle aus der Datenquelle weitere Panels und Dashboards.

  14. In @icinga you can use Service Apply rules to automatically deploy multiple Service checks.

    In most cases this is done using custom variables. But #Icinga also supports functions in advanced Apply rules.

    At Infiniroot we used this for a practical use case to ensure #monitoring of connectivity to Zones (and their endpoints).

  15. Hey #Openstreetmap people. Is there a simple way to check the correct function of a slippymap e.g. using #python and #selenium with tools like #icinga or #checkmk?

  16. Diese Woche geht's bei @ajfriesen und mir um Monitoring im Smart Home und dem Homelab. Welche Arten von Monitoring gibt es? Wieso ist das wichtig? Welcher Ansatz eignet sich fürs Smart Home? Darüber hinaus berichtet Andrej über seine Migration von Fritz zu UniFi für WLAN, LAN und Router.

    Viel Spaß beim Hören!

  21. Wow, schon seit über 14 Jahren überwache ich nun mein Heimnetz mit Icinga.

    Ich habe nun die neue Version 2 von Uptime Kuma ausprobiert (uptime.kuma.pet/), welches rein auf Netzwerkmonitoring ausgerichtet ist, während Icinga u.a. auch Systemmonitoring beherrscht (Partitionen, Prozesse, Last, etc. überwachen) und über Plugins erweiterbar ist.

    Uptime Kuma ist einfacher gestrickt, schnell installiert und lässt sich komplett über die Web UI einrichten. Wenn man so will: Klicki-Bunti für Leute, die schnell Netzwerk-Dienste wie HTTP, DNS etc. überwachen wollen.

    Es bietet zudem eine Menge Benachrichtigungsoptionen (E-Mail, Mattermost, Nextcloud, etc.). Schön ist auch, dass man Status-Seiten einrichten kann, die öffentlich einsehbar den Status der Dienste anzeigen.

    #Icinga #UptimeKuma

  22. I spent all day managing our hosts on Icinga using Terraform to see that custom variables are not reported by the API, which makes the Terraform provider recreate the resource every time. This seems to be a limitation of Icinga, not the provider.

    I'm sick of their eventual consistency home-made multi-master model. If I create something, I want it to be available right now and in the same state. As a user, I don't want to reload the service, which I can't reload myself by the way, to read data from somewhere unknown to see what I have just created.

  27. @jan #Icinga it is for me, which works fine.
    But I am also doing that as a day job and have only limited experience with other systems. Might be too much work upfront for smallish setups if you are new.

    I think Zabbix is conceptionally similar.

  28. icingaweb2-module-pdfexport:

    Why should you use Imagemagick or similar if you can also install Google Chrome on the server on which #Icinga is running?

    See Installation:

    github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-m

    In my opinion, this is so wrong

    #adminlife #opensource

    github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-m

  29. Bisschen nervig, dass ich #ICINGA nicht unter rocky linux installieren "kann" weil es hinter der PayWall steckt.

  30. A customer recently reached out to us that their #Icinga UI no longer showed the embedded #Grafana visualizations.

    The "grafana" module for Icingaweb2 has undergone a lot of changes in the past, including a fork and support for newer #PHP versions.

    Thanks to our #troubleshooting the reason was quickly identified: A major release upgrade of Grafana caused a breaking change in the dashboard UIDs.

    In the latest post on our Infiniroot #blog we share our analysis and fix.

  31. All our managed #Kubernetes clusters are monitored and fully integrated into our #Icinga core #monitoring.

    When we recently got a cluster alert, we first suspected one or more cluster nodes running into a "node pressure" situation.

    But as the analysis went on - it turned out to be a Kernel bug!

    On our Infiniroot blog, we share our #troubleshooting and analysis steps in our latest post.

    Happy Weekend. May your clusters stay online. ☀️

  32. Is there an on-premise, open source option for a monitoring/telemetry platform comparable* to say New Relic or Dynatrace with an approachable query language?

    Is Prometheus+Grafana pretty much it?

    Simpler the better, approachable for a casual user (i.e. curious non-technical tenants) would be great.

  35. #icinga2 #icinga "You say “Eee-Chingaa”, I say “Aye-Singa” – but how do the Zulus say it? We consulted a couple Zulu speakers and even received a pronunciation guide from Megan Wells to help us all out. As she told us:
    “The I in Icinga is actually a Romanized representation of the Zulu click. The easiest way to approximate the click is by putting your tongue behind your top teeth and pulling it down, kind of like a tsk-tsk noise. The vowels on either side of the click are “eee” noises, like in “see”. There is no hard “g” sound in Icinga – the “ng” is pronounced like the end of “sing”. Finally, the “a” is pronounced like the “a” in “father”."
