interval - specifying how many times the data should be sent (min) address - url/ip of monitoring server password - password of nsca service on monitoring server htemplate - name of passive host template on icinga2 stemplate - name of passvie service template on icinga2 hgruppe - host group name on icinga2 server sgruppe - service group name on icinga2 server
Example passive host template
template Host "passive-host" {
max_check_attempts = 2
check_interval = 300s
retry_interval = 200s
enable_active_checks = true
enable_passive_checks = true
check_command = "passive"
vars.notification["mail"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
}
Example passvie service template
template Service "passive-service" {
max_check_attempts = 2
check_interval = 3m
retry_interval = 0
enable_active_checks = true
check_command = "passive"
vars.notification["mail"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
}
Generated example of an configuration file for icinga2
object Host "4demo" {
import "passive-host"
display_name = "4demo Server Host"
vars.group = "test"
}
object Service "CPU" {
import "passive-service"
host_name ="4demo"
vars.group ="test"
}
object Service "Festplatten" {
import "passive-service"
host_name ="4demo"
vars.group ="test"
}
object Service "Arbeitsspeicher" {
import "passive-service"
host_name ="4demo"
vars.group ="test"
}
