How To Add Remote Linux Host Into Icinga 2 Server PART3

This document provides steps to add a remote Linux host to monitor with Icinga. It involves verifying and updating configuration files on the client node and master node. The client node configuration should define the master node endpoint and zone. Restarting Icinga on the client syncs configurations to the master node. Running commands on the master imports the client's object configurations and services, generating configuration files. Reloading Icinga on the master completes the setup.

Verify the configurations files. Make sure your client node configurations should be like
below.
# vi /etc/icinga2/zones.conf

Update the zones.conf, if required. Replace client.itzgeek.local with your client machine
FQDN, and also ensure it has Icinga master node information.

object Endpoint "server.itzgeek.local" {
host = "192.168.12.6"
port = "5665"
}
object Zone "master" {
endpoints = [ "server.itzgeek.local" ]
}
object Endpoint "client.itzgeek.local" {
}
object Zone "client.itzgeek.local" {
endpoints = [ "client.itzgeek.local" ]
parent = "master"
}

Restart the Icinga 2 on the client node.


For SysVinit Systems:
# service icinga2 restart
For Systemd Systems:
# systemctl restart icinga2.service

Discover Client Services on the Master:


Icinga 2 clients usually sync their local object configurations to the master node. On the
master node, you can list and import the locally defined configuration of the clients using the
following command.
# icinga2 node list

In order to receive the check results from the clients, object configuration must exist on the
master node. Run the following command on the master for updating the client services,
generating the required object configurations.
# icinga2 node
