Add host in icinga 1.9

Icinga1.9 is successfully installed on ubuntu12.10 server through compilation. apache2 is selected here, And nginx is not ready yet.

After opening the webpage, you can only view the monitored localhost, so you need to monitor other hosts. This function can be completed without a web UI. You need to operate on icinga server.

Step 1: Create the/usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/Linux. cfg file

The content is as follows:

 

define host{        use             linux-server            ; Inherit default values from a template        host_name       StaticFileServer              ; The name we're giving to this host                                                                                               alias           static filer server         ; A longer name associated with the host                                                   address         10.112.18.131            ; IP address of the host                                                                                                                contact_groups  admins                ; Host groups this host is associated with                                                                                                 }

Note that the contact_groups value admins is found in the/usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/contacts. cfg file.

 

Step 2: add a line in the/usr/local/icinga/etc/icinga. cfg file

 

cfg_file=/usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/linux.cfg

 

 

Step 3: run the command to check the Configuration:

 

/usr/local/icinga/bin/icinga -v /usr/local/icinga/etc/icinga.cfg

Step 4: re-read the configuration file:

 

 

service icinga reload
