icinga2 | monitoring platform with a powerful configuration language | Monitoring library

I am at wits end.

My scenario is that I am using python requests to interact with Icinga2 API and I am trying to schedule a downtime. So I know how that is supposed to works and it works most of time. But unfortunately I am totally out of luck when the Icinga2 service I try to set a downtime to has name with a backslash in it.

My test environment:

• Icinga2 2.9.0
• Python 3.6.8 / Python 3.8.11
• requests 2.27.0

Prerequisite: Create a host in Icinga. Create a service in Icinga with a "\"-character.

Python Code for Reproduction:

I have Icinga2 installed with icingaweb2 on Ubuntu 19.10 and I have Icinga director Installed for the configuration which is really awesome.

I created some command and attached them to linux-agent host template.

that was a mistake cause I added more servers that don't need these new commands.

so I created a new host template called my-linux-agent as a duplicate of linux-agent and now I want to move all my custom commands to the new host template and I can't find any way to do that.

versions: Icinga2: 2.10.5 IcingaWeb2: 2.7.1

thanks

I want to make a small PS script that checks the status of a service logon account against a server list. What i need to do is, if a server is down, it shows a custom error message that tells me which server from the list is offline, instead of the default bulky red error message.

Here is what i came up with so far.

This is the RPC error powershell shows if something wrong with a server.

An Icinga2 plugin (written by myself) returns performance data with metrics named /var(avail_MB), /var(total_MB) and similar. Data is forwarded to an InfluxDB with Grafana as Frontend.

I'm using "GROUP BY" "tag(metric)" and "ALIAS BY" "$tag_metric" in a dashboard's panel query. The metric names are displayed correctly below the graph then.

However when I try to override series by specifying "alias or regex" /var(avail_MB) it does not seem to work, and when going back from panel configuration to dashboard, I get an error message saying "Panel rendering error '/var(avail_MB)' is not a valid regular expression.". I tried to put a backslash in front of ( and ), but that didn't help. To make matters worse, the whole graph disappeared, and when trying to open the "Query Inspector", the frontend seems to take forever (Query never appears).

What is the problem, and how could I fix it? I'm new to Icinga2, Grafana and InfluxDB (I'm just a "user" not administrator of those).

The color change is not applied to the graph.

Here is an example of plugin output:

I am trying to add a 1 extra security group to a running instance. Reading the documentation you should be able to when you use this:
