Documentation – Future
• DocBook Pros
– You can generate hundreds of different formats out of one
Docbook
• DocBook Cons
– We don’t!
– Updating DocBook files is time-consuming and
complicated
– It sucks!

• Switch from DocBook to Markdown
• Icinga 2 doc will be available in Markdown from day one
• We‘ll migrate the 1.x documentation to Markdown
#OSMC2013


Documentation – Markdown
• How it will look like

Icinga 2 - Overview
• Based on C++ and Boost
– Supports all major *NIX and Windows platforms
• Different config format
– there is a conversion script!
• Included cluster stack
• Functions by component
• i2enfeature/i2disfeature
• Components can run anywhere in a cluster
• MySQL and Livestatus support included
• Packages and Vagrant Box available now!

#OSMC2013


Icinga 2 – Components
• Checker
• Cluster
• Compat
– Command Pipe
– Compat Log
– Status.dat
• Livestatus
• Perfdata
• Notification
• db_ido_mysql

#OSMC2013


Icinga 2 – Major config differences
• There is no host check -> Use the check attribute
• Global macros
• Contact and Contactgroup -> User and UserGroup
– no notification-specific attributes for services
-> Notification Object
• Freely definable macros for commands
object CheckCommand "ping4" {
command
=
"$plugindir$/check_ping -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w $wrta$,$wpl%$ -c $crta$,$cpl%$",
macros = {
wrta
=
100,
wpl
=
20,
crta
=
500,
cpl
=
60
}
}

define command {
command_name
ping4
command_line
$USER1$/check_ping -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p 5
}
define service {
use
host_name
service_description
check_command
}

local-service
localhost
PING
ping4!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

object Host ”localhost" {
services[“PING“] = {
check_command
=
//macros[“wrta”]
=
}
}

#OSMC2013

“ping4”,
250


Icinga 2 – Major config differences
• New notification object
– Icinga 1
service -> (contact, contactgroup) -> notification command
notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s

– Icinga 2
service -> notification -> notificationCommand
-> user, userGroup
notification_state_filter = (StateFilterWarning | StateFilterUnknown | StateFilterCritical),
notification_type_filter = (NotificationProblem | NotificationRecovery | NotificationFlappingStart | NotificationFlappingEnd |
NotificationDowntimeStart | NotificationDowntimeEnd | NotificationDowntimeRemoved)

• No fixed macro for IP address(es)
• Escalations act as notification with defined begin and end
start
end

= notification start + (notification_interval * first_notification)
= notification start + (notification_interval * last_notification)

#OSMC2013

#OSMC2013


Different Interfaces for Icinga
Icinga Classic

Icinga Web

Thruk, …

Icinga Mobile

Icinga Web 2

#OSMC2013


Why another Interface
• We want a solution for all platforms
– Simple and lightweight
– Responsive for desktop, tablet, phone
• Icinga-Classic doesn’t fit enterprise needs
• Icinga-Web is hard to extend
• CLI-Support for cronjobs, plugins and shell
• Support for multiple backends

• All existing versions will be in active maintenance!

#OSMC2013


Icinga Web 2
• Lightweight like Icinga classic and flexible like Icinga Web
• Easy to extend and embed into other projects
• Support for multiple backends
– Status.dat
– Database
– Livestatus
• Supports multiple backends simultaneously, as failover
backend
• Supports Icinga 1.x and Icinga 2.x
• Responsive actions
• FAST!
