Module Description

This module installs and configures Icinga 2 on your Linux or Windows hosts.

By default it uses packages provided by your distribution's repository or Chocolatey on Windows.

The module can also be configured to use packages.icinga.com as the primary repository, which enables you to install Icinga 2 versions that are newer than the ones provided by your distribution's vendor. All features and objects available in Icinga 2 can be enabled and configured with this module.

Setup

What the Icinga 2 Puppet module supports

Usage

Installing Icinga 2

The default class icinga2 installs and configures a basic installation of Icinga 2. The features checker, mainlog and notification are enabled by default.

By default, your distribution's packages are used to install Icinga 2. On Windows systems we use the Chocolatey package manager.

Use the manage_repo parameter to configure the official packages.icinga.com repositories.

class { '::icinga2':
  manage_repo => true,
}

Info: If you are using the Icinga Web 2 Puppet module on the same server, make sure to disable the repository management for one of the modules!

Since version 2.0.0 you're able via hiera to overload which repository will be used for installation, e.g. for icinga on YUM based operating systems:

---
icinga2::repo:
  baseurl: 'http://myhost.example.org/epel/%{facts.os.release.major}/release/'
  proxy: http://proxy.example.org:3128

You can also change or set every other parameter of the underlying resources, supported for operating system families:

RedHat, resource type: yumrepo
Debian, define resource: apt::source
SuSE, resource type: zypprepo
- a workaround is implemented to use a parameter proxy also to download the gpg key thru a proxy, see voxpupuli#397.

If you want to manage the version of Icinga 2, you have to disable the package management of this module and handle packages in your own Puppet code. The attribute manage_repo is also disabled automattically and you have to manage a repository within icinga in front of the package resource, i.e. for a RedHat system:

yumrepo { 'icinga-stable-release':
  baseurl  => "http://packages.icinga.com/epel/${::operatingsystemmajrelease}/release/",
  descr    => 'ICINGA (stable release for epel)',
  enabled  => 1,
  gpgcheck => 1,
  gpgkey   => 'http://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key',
  before   => Package['icinga2'],
}

package { 'icinga2':
  ensure => latest,
  notify => Class['icinga2'],
}

class { '::icinga2':
  manage_package => false,
}

Note: Be careful with this option: Setting manage_package to false means that this module will not install any package at all, including IDO packages!

Enabling Features

There are two options how you can enable features:

A default set of features is set with the features parameter in the ::icinga2 class:

class { '::icinga2':
  manage_repo => true,
  features    => ['checker', 'mainlog', 'command'],
}

To enable a feature and change its configuration, declare the specified feature class:

class { '::icinga2::feature::graphite':
  host                   => '10.10.0.15',
  port                   => 2003,
  enable_send_thresholds => true,
  enable_send_metadata   => true,
}

Make sure that you enable features either in the ::icinga2 class or by declaring the feature class.

Setting up Icinga IDO

The IDO feature can be enabled either in combination with MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Depending on your database you need to enable the feature icinga2::feature::idomysql or icinga2::feature::idopgsql.

Both features are capable of importing the base schema into the database, however this is disabled by default. Updating the database schema to another version is currently not supported.

The IDO features require a pre-existing database and a user with permissions to create schema and edit data.

MySQL

When using MySQL we recommend the puppetlabs/mysql Puppet module to install the database server, create a database and manage user permissions. Here's an example how you create a MySQL database with the corresponding user with permissions by using the puppetlabs/mysql module:

include ::icinga2
include ::mysql::server

mysql::db { 'icinga2':
  user     => 'icinga2',
  password => 'supersecret',
  host     => '127.0.0.1',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE', 'DROP', 'CREATE VIEW', 'CREATE', 'INDEX', 'EXECUTE', 'ALTER'],
}

class{ '::icinga2::feature::idomysql':
  user          => 'icinga2',
  password      => 'supersecret',
  database      => 'icinga2',
  import_schema => true,
  require       => Mysql::Db['icinga2'],
}

PostgreSQL

For PostgreSQL we recommend the puppetlabs/puppetlabs-postgresql module. You can install the server, create databases and manage user permissions with the module. Here's an example on how to use it in combination with Icinga 2:

include ::icinga2
include ::postgresql::server

postgresql::server::db { 'icinga2':
  user     => 'icinga2',
  password => postgresql_password('icinga2', 'supersecret'),
}

class{ '::icinga2::feature::idopgsql':
  user          => 'icinga2',
  password      => 'supersecret',
  database      => 'icinga2',
  import_schema => true,
  require       => Postgresql::Server::Db['icinga2'],
}

Clustering Icinga 2

Icinga 2 can run in three different roles:

in a master zone which is on top of the hierarchy
in a satellite zone which is a child of a satellite or master zone
a standalone client node/zone which works as an agent connected to master and/or satellite zones

To learn more about Icinga 2 Clustering, follow the official docs on distributed monitoring. The following examples show how these roles can be configured using this Puppet module.

Master

A Master zone has no parent and is usually also the place where you enable the IDO and notification features. A master sends configurations over the Icinga 2 protocol to satellites and/or clients.

More detailed examples can be found in the examples directory.

This example creates the configuration for a master that has one satellite connected. A global zone is created for templates, and all features of a typical master are enabled.

class { '::icinga2':
  confd     => false,
  features  => ['checker','mainlog','notification','statusdata','compatlog','command'],
  constants => {
    'ZoneName' => 'master',
  },
}

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  accept_commands => true,
  # when having multiple masters, you should enable:
  # accept_config => true,
  endpoints       => {
    'master.example.org'    => {},
    'satellite.example.org' => {
      'host' => '172.16.2.11'
    }
  },
  zones           => {
    'master' => {
      'endpoints' => ['master.example.org'],
    },
    'dmz'    => {
      'endpoints' => ['satellite.example.org'],
      'parent'    => 'master',
    },
  }
}

icinga2::object::zone { 'global-templates':
  global => true,
}

Satellite

A satellite has a parent zone and one or multiple child zones. Satellites are usually created to distribute the monitoring load or to reach delimited zones in the network. A satellite either executes checks itself or delegates them to a client.

The satellite has fewer features enabled, but executes checks similar to a master. It connects to a master zone, and to a satellite or client below in the hierarchy. As parent acts either the master zone, or another satellite zone.

class { '::icinga2':
  confd     => false,
  features  => ['checker','mainlog'],
  constants => {
    'ZoneName' => 'dmz',
  },
}

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  accept_config   => true,
  accept_commands => true,
  fingerprint     => 'D8:98:82:1B:14:8A:6A:89:4B:7A:40:32:50:68:01:99:3D:96:72:72',
  endpoints       => {
    'satellite.example.org' => {},
    'master.example.org'    => {
      'host' => '172.16.1.11',
    },
  },
  zones           => {
    'master' => {
      'endpoints' => ['master.example.org'],
    },
    'dmz'    => {
      'endpoints' => ['satellite.example.org'],
      'parent'    => 'master',
    },
  }
}

icinga2::object::zone { 'global-templates':
  global => true,
}

Client

Icinga 2 runs as a client usually on each of your servers. It receives config or commands from a satellite or master zones and runs the checks that have to be executed locally.

The client is connected to the satellite, which is the direct parent zone.

class { '::icinga2':
  confd     => false,
  features  => ['checker','mainlog'],
}

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  pki             => 'none',
  accept_config   => true,
  accept_commands => true,
  fingerprint     => ''D8:98:82:1B:14:8A:6A:89:4B:7A:40:32:50:68:01:99:3D:96:72:72,
  endpoints       => {
    'NodeName'              => {},
    'satellite.example.org' => {
      'host' => '172.16.2.11',
    }
  },
  zones           => {
    'ZoneName' => {
      'endpoints' => ['NodeName'],
      'parent'    => 'dmz',
    },
    'dmz'      => {
      'endpoints' => ['satellite.example.org'],
    }
  }
}

icinga2::object::zone { 'global-templates':
  global => true,
}

The parameter fingerprint is optional and new since v2.1.0. It's used to validate the certificate of the master. A fingerprint can be got by openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -sha1 -inform pem -in master.crt on the master host.

Config Objects

With this module you can create almost every object that Icinga 2 knows about. When creating objects some parameters are required. This module sets the same requirements as Icinga 2 does. When creating an object you must set a target for the configuration.

Here are some examples for some object types:

Host

icinga2::object::host { 'srv-web1.fqdn.com':
  display_name  => 'srv-web1.fqdn.com',
  address       => '127.0.0.1',
  address6      => '::1',
  check_command => 'hostalive',
  target        => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/srv-web1.fqdn.com.conf',
}

Service

icinga2::object::service { 'uptime':
  host_name      => 'srv-web1.fqdn.com',
  display_name   => 'Uptime',
  check_command  => 'check_uptime',
  check_interval => '600m',
  groups         => ['uptime', 'linux'],
  target         => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/uptime.conf',
}

Hostgroup

icinga2::object::hostgroup { 'monitoring-hosts':
  display_name => 'Linux Servers',
  groups       => [ 'linux-servers' ],
  target       => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/groups2.conf',
  assign       => [ 'host.vars.os == linux' ],
}

Parsing Configuration

To generate a valid Icinga 2 configuration all object attributes are parsed. This simple parsing algorithm takes a decision for each attribute, whether part of the string is to be quoted or not, and how an array or dictionary is to be formatted.

Parsing of a single attribute can be disabled by tagging it with -: at the front of the string.

   attr => '-:"unparsed string with quotes"'

An array, a hash or a string can be assigned to an object attribute. True and false are also valid values.

Hashes and arrays are created recursively, and all parts – such as single items of an array, keys and its values are parsed separately as strings.

Strings are parsed in chunks, by splitting the original string into separate substrings at specific keywords (operators) such as +, -, in, &&, ||, etc.

NOTICE: This splitting only works for keywords that are surrounded by whitespace, e.g.:

   attr => 'string1 + string2 - string3'

The algorithm will loop over the parameter and start by splitting it into 'string1' and 'string2 - string3'. 'string1' will be passed to the sub function 'value_types' and then the algorithm will continue parsing the rest of the string ('string2 - string3'), splitting it, passing it to value_types, etc.

Brackets are parsed for expressions:

  attr => '3 * (value1 - value2) / 2'

The parser also detects function calls and will parse all parameters separately.

  attr => 'function(param1, param2, ...)'

True and false can be used as either booleans or strings.

  attrs => true or  attr => 'true'

In Icinga you can write your own lambda functions with {{ ... }}. For Puppet use:

  attrs => '{{ ... }}'

The parser analyzes which parts of the string have to be quoted and which do not.

As a general rule, all fragments are quoted except for the following:

Boolean: true, false
Numbers: 3 or 2.5
Time Intervals: 3m or 2.5h (s = seconds, m = minutes, h = hours, d = days)
Functions: {{ ... }} or function () {}
All constants, which are declared in the constants parameter in main class icinga2
- NodeName
Names of attributes that belong to the same type of object:
- e.g. name and check_command for a host object
All attributes or variables (custom attributes) from the host, service or user contexts:
- host.name, service.check_command, user.groups, ...

Assignment with += and -=:

Now it's possible to build an Icinga DSL code snippet like

  vars += config

simply use a string with the prefix '+ ', e.g.

  vars => '+ config',

The blank between + and the proper string 'config' is imported for the parser because numbers

  attr => '+ -14',

are also possible now. For numbers -= can be built, too:

  attr => '- -14',

Arrays can also be marked to merge with '+' or reduce by '-' as the first item of the array:

  attr => [ '+', item1, item2, ... ]

Result: attr += [ item1, item2, ... ]

  attr => [ '-', item1, item2, ... ]

Result: attr -= [ item1, item2, ... ]

That all works for attributes and custom attributes!

Finally dictionaries can be merged when a key '+' is set:

  attr => {
    '+'    => true,
    'key1' => 'val1',
  }

Result:

  attr += {
    "key1" = "val1"
  }

If 'attr' is a custom attribute this just works since level 3 of the dictionary:

  vars => {
    'level1' => {
      'level2' => {
        'level3' => {
          '+' => true,
          ...
        },
      },
    },
  },

Parsed to:

  vars.level1["level2"] += level3

Now it's also possible to add multiple custom attributes:

  vars => [
    {
      'a' => '1',
      'b' => '2', 
    },
    'config',
    { 
      'c' => { 
        'd' => { 
          '+' => true,
          'e' => '5',
        },
      },
    },
  ],

And you'll get:

  vars.a = "1"
  vars.b = "2"
  vars += config
  vars.c["d"] += {
    "e" = "5"
  }

Note: Using an Array always means merge '+=' all items to vars.

What isn't supported?

It's not currently possible to use arrays or dictionaries in a string, like

  attr => 'array1 + [ item1, item2, ... ]'

Reading objects from hiera data

The following example is for puppet 4 and higher. It shows how icinga2 objects can be read from a hiera datastore. See also examples/objects_from_hiera.pp.

class { 'icinga2':
  manage_repo => true,
}

$defaults = lookup('monitoring::defaults')

lookup('monitoring::objects').each |String $object_type, Hash $content| {
  $content.each |String $object_name, Hash $object_config| {
    ensure_resource(
      $object_type,
      $object_name,
      deep_merge($defaults[$object_type], $object_config))
  }
}

The datastore could be like:

---
monitoring::objects:
  'icinga2::object::host':
    centos7.localdomain:
      address: 127.0.0.1
      vars:
        os: Linux
  'icinga2::object::service':
    ping4:
      check_command: ping4
      apply: true
      assign:
        - host.address
    ssh:
      check_command: ssh
      apply: true
      assign:
        - host.address && host.vars.os == Linux

monitoring::defaults:
  'icinga2::object::host':
    import:
      - generic-host
    target: /etc/icinga2/conf.d/hosts.conf
  'icinga2::object::service':
    import:
      - generic-service
    target: /etc/icinga2/conf.d/services.conf

Apply Rules

Some objects can be applied to other objects. To create a simple apply rule you must set the apply parameter to true. If this parameter is set to a string, this string will be used to build an apply for loop. A service object always targets a host object. All other objects need to explicitly set an apply_target

Apply a SSH service to all Linux hosts:

icinga2::object::service { 'SSH':
  target        => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/test.conf',
  apply         => true,
  assign        => [ 'host.vars.os == Linux' ],
  ignore        => [ 'host.vars.os == Windows' ],
  display_name  => 'Test Service',
  check_command => 'ssh',
}

Apply notifications to services:

icinga2::object::notification { 'testnotification':
  target       => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/test.conf',
  apply        => true,
  apply_target => 'Service',
  assign       => [ 'host.vars.os == Linux' ],
  ignore       => [ 'host.vars.os == Windows' ],
  user_groups  => ['icingaadmins']
}

Assign all Linux hosts to a hostgroup:

icinga2::object::hostgroup { 'monitoring-hosts':
  display_name => 'Linux Servers',
  groups       => [ 'linux-servers' ],
  target       => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/groups2.conf',
  assign       => [ 'host.vars.os == linux' ],
}

A loop to create HTTP services for all vHosts of a host object:

icinga2::object::service { 'HTTP':
  target        => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/http.conf',
  apply         => 'http_vhost => config in host.vars_http_vhost',
  assign        => [ 'host.vars.os == Linux' ],
  display_name  => 'HTTP Service',
  check_command => 'http',
}

CA and Certificates

Handling the CA and certificates is an important part of Icinga 2, because the communication between Icinga processes requires SSL/TLS client certificates. This module offers multiple choices to configure this.

CA on your Icinga Master

One of your Icinga masters needs to behave as a CA. With the class icinga2::pki::ca you can do the following to fulfill this requirement:

Use the the icinga2 CLI to generate a complete new CA

include ::icinga2
class { '::icinga2::pki::ca':
}

Set a custom content of the CA certificate and key

include ::icinga2
class { '::icinga2::pki::ca':
  ca_cert => '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ...',
  ca_key  => '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ...',
}

Transfer a CA certificate and key from an existing CA by using the file resource:

include ::icinga2
file { '/var/lib/icinga2/ca/ca.crt':
  source => '...',
  tag    => 'icinga2::config::file',
}

file { '/var/lib/icinga2/ca/ca.key':
  source => '...',
  tag    => 'icinga2::config::file',
}

Create a new CA with the icinga2 CLI command and a certificate signed by this new CA. This is useful especially when setting up a new Icinga 2 master.

class { '::icinga2':
  constants => {
    'TicketSalt'   => '5a3d695b8aef8f18452fc494593056a4',
  }
}

class { '::icinga2::pki::ca': }

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  pki             => 'none',
  endpoints       => {
    'localhost' => {
      'host' => 'localhost',
    }
  },
  zones           => {
    'master' => {
      'endpoints' => ['localhost']
    }
  }
}

If you are looking for an option to use your Puppet CA, have a look at the Client/Satellite Certificates section.

Client/Satellite Certificates

In addition to the master, each client and satellite needs valid certificates to communicate with other Icinga 2 instances. This module offers following options to create these certificates:

Use Puppet's CA and its client certificates. This is convenient since you don't need to maintain an additional CA.

include ::icinga2::feature::api

Use a custom function implemented in this module to generate a certificate. This feature will do the following:
- Generate a key and certificate based on the FQDN of the host
- Save the certificate of another Icinga 2 instance, usually the Icinga master where your Icinga CA is located
- Validate the certificate of the other Icinga 2 instance by it's fingerprint
- Generate a ticket based on the TicketSalt
- Request a signed certificate at your Icinga CA

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  pki             => 'icinga2',
  ca_host         => 'icinga2-master.example.com',
  fingerprint     => 'D8:98:82:1B:14:8A:6A:89:4B:7A:40:32:50:68:01:99:3D:96:72:72',
  ticket_salt     => '5a3d695b8aef8f18452fc494593056a4',
  accept_config   => true,
  accept_commands => true,
  endpoints       => {
    'NodeName'                   => {},
    'icinga2-master.example.com' => {
      'host' => '192.168.56.103',
    }
  },
  zones           => {
    'NodeName' => {
      'endpoints' => ['NodeName'],
      'parent'    => 'master',
    },
    'master' => {
      'endpoints' => ['icinga2-master.example.com']
    }
  }
}

Use custom file resources to transfer your own certificate and key

class { '::icinga2::feature::api':
  pki => 'none',
}

file { "/var/lib/icinga2/certs/${::fqdn}.crt":
  ensure => file,

}

Custom configuration

Sometimes it's necessary to cover very special configurations, that you cannot handle with this module. In this case you can use the icinga2::config::file tag on your file resource. The module collects all file resource types with this tag and triggers a reload of Icinga 2 on a file change.

include ::icinga2
file { '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/for-loop.conf':
  ensure => file,
  source => '...',
  tag    => 'icinga2::config::file',
}

If you want to add custom configuration fragments to existing config files, you can do this with icinga2::config::fragment. It adds content into a specified target to the position you set in the order parameter. You can use also Puppet templates to set the content of the config fragment.

For example, you can add custom functions to existing config files:

include ::icinga2

icinga2::object::service { 'load':
  display_name  => 'Load',
  apply         => true,
  check_command => 'load',
  assign        => ['vars.os == Linux'],
  target        => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/service_load.conf',
  order         => 30,
}

icinga2::config::fragment { 'load-function':
  target => '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/service_load.conf',
  order => 10,
  content => 'vars.load_wload1 = {{
    if (get_time_period("backup").is_inside) {
      return 20
    } else {
      return 5
    }
  }}',
}

Public Classes

Class: `icinga2`

The default class of this module. It handles the basic installation and configuration of Icinga 2. When you declare this class, Puppet will do the following:

Install Icinga 2
Place a default configuration for the Icinga 2 daemon
Keep the default configuration of the Icinga 2 package
Start Icinga 2 and enable the service

This class can be declared without adjusting any parameter:

class { '::icinga2': }
