Description

Tool to create configuration of icinga2 for passive windows checks(for using with nsclient++)

Steps

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

        2
        monitoring.server.local
        NSCAPASS

        passive-host
        passive-service
        HOSTGROUP
        SERVICEGROUP

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"
}

source.txt

This file contains all ressources, which you can select to monitor

Segment

Here will be descript, which services contain this file

win - Windows service
eve - Eventlog

Module

Module to activated in nsclient++

Interval

Time to resend state of a service

Example - DHCP Server

1. Add winDHCP in Segment

2. Add Service

   ##winDHCP
   ;DHCP Service
   DHCPServer:Windows_Dienst_DHCP_Server

   winDHCP - define (win) that it is a windows service

   ;DHCP Service - description of service, this will be write in nsclient.ini as comment DHCPServer - Name of service in Windows Windows_Dienst_DHCP_Server - Name of service in icinga (Display Name)

3. Add Eventlog

   ##EveIDDHCP
   ;EveIDDHCP
   10020:system:1:10:20:DHCP_Dyn._IP

   EveIDDHCP - Name of Segment - eve define that it is a eventlog

   ;EveIDDHCP - comment in nslcient.ini 10020 - Eventlog id system - type of eventlog (application, system, security) 1 - warn 10 - critical 20 - show last 20min. DHCP_Dyn._IP - Name of service in icinga (Display Name). You can use a name with space

   Steps

   1. Edit config.xml (show below)
   2. Start tool
   3. Select folder with config.xml and source.txt
   4. Write host name and display host name
   5. Select service to monitoring
   6. Check checkbox if you will generate icinga2 configuration file
   7. Copy nsclient.ini in nsclient++ folder and restart nsclient++
   8. Copy servername.conf file in icinga2 server and reload/restart icinga2 configuration.

It would be good if you send me the updates of source.txt file
