Using Ubuntu 12.10 server. icinga with idoutils and icinga-web (Latest (1.8)).
Have ability to see hosts if I add them in the localhost_icinga.cfg
however from my understanding you can create a host.cfg based on systems.
example: windows.cfg to monitor all windows machines via NSclient++ (similar to
Nagios)
Everytime I create a new host.cfg icinga either gives me a duplicate error or
it does not like the define host line.
Example: (localhost_icinga.cfg working)
define host{
use generic-host
host_name mikedoppdesk
alias mikedoppdesk
address 192.168.0.56 }
However if I create a windows.cfg
Example:
define host{
use windows
host_name mikedoppdesk
alias mikedoppdesk
address 192.168.0.56
}
and use: /usr/sbin/icinga -v /etc/icinga/icinga.cfg
output error line 1 windows.cfg or duplicate errors.
*icinga is installed on /etc/icinga/ The objects are located in the
/etc/icinga/objects folder with templates and such.
I currently want to get this setup for multiple windows servers, Red Hat
servers and numerous switches.
What is the best way to accomplish this?
Do I create a windows.cfg, Ubuntu.cfg, switch.cfg, router.cfg,
Please advise. Possibly the hierarchy of how icinga understands the config
files.
Does it require me to edit the hosts file for ever host?
I have been chasing the icinga web docs trying to get a straight answer.
I know I am missing something critical but cannot find rhyme or reason.
Please educate. Thanks in advance.
