Dependency for host and services.

2012-01-31T04:08:07-08:00

Simon suggested:
It would be (REALLY) useful to have builtin dependencys into Icinga to get functionallity like http://bp-addon.monitoringexchange.org/ and an easy way to build up an dependency tree. Its a bit of a pain with BP and I would rather in my host and service configs specify dependency and let Icinga sort everything out by itself.

Icinga Web Pocess Information

2011-12-26T03:01:09-08:00

Strahinja Kustudić suggested:
Icinga Web is missing the System->Process Information page which is available in the classic GUI. This is especially important if you would like to disable notifications and/or restart the Icinga process.

Change Release Interval to 180 days

2011-12-15T14:33:00-08:00

Erich Schommarz suggested:
From my work with Icinga the release interval of 90 days is to fast. In a enterprise environment it is very difficult to update the installation all 90 days. Further I can also imagine that for the development team a higher interval rate could maybe make life a little bit easier. If I remeber correctly I saw once a presentation from the Icinga Team with a roadmap where each second release should be a beta release. From documentation and each release I don't see that concept. My suggestion would be a release interval of 180 days instead of 90 days.

icinga-web sould show 2 systems at the same time this means one on the left side and one on the othe [updated]

2011-12-15T05:32:30-08:00

icinga-web should show more than the systems on the left side, while there are a lot of blank space on the middle side and on the right side. Our users must allways scroll to have a look of all systems.

Setting a default (mandatory) expiration for acknowledgements would require NOC to actively work issues or be paged again. Currently system allows for acknowledged but unfixed problems to fester.

API to add new hosts/groups/services/commands automagically. [updated]

2011-08-28T23:45:55-07:00

Евгений Наумов said:

I suggest to think about classic interface with ability to create configuration entries (hosts, services,contacts and etc.). Classic UI have limited ability to configure Icinga. It would be great to extend it's functionality. I agree it should be some API in the Core. May be not "automatically"? but like in NagiosQL (add new entry, save config, refresh new config to daemon)

Allow a filter in "open problems" for "NOT acknowledged AND NOT in downtime" [is now completed]

2011-08-25T02:33:04-07:00

To much problems in the "open problems" overview, planed downtime is displayed as alarm. I always try to resolve problems until they fit onto the display without scrolling to recognize new problems as fast as possible. Because of that I'm still using Icinga Classic Interface.

2011-08-25T02:31:43-07:00

i was just installing icinga-web 1.0.1 at my gentoo system. After installing i couldn't log in. I wasn't doing anything. After reading a while throught the nagios-portal i figured out that there must be some php modules missing. After adding hash and ctyp and a few more it worked. would be great if all requirements could be cheked through "make testdeps". In this case everything would be coverd. And I also miss the requirements for web browsers. icinga-web works fine with my firefox 3.6.6 but my IE 7 won't show anything! apart from this I'm very pleased with your work folks. Thanks a lot!

Statusmap with Export Function

Deadlock suggested:
I love the Statusmap of new Icinga Web. But there is a extension that would be really great. In our IT Department we print the Statusmap and put it on the wall for meetings. So untill now i used Nagvis and made a screenshot put it into an image, changing the descriptions and so on. This is a lot of work i have to do every month. It would be a lot easier if i could click on an Button and i could download a whole Statusmap of the new Icinga Web (png,jpg,pdf or whatever).

host depends on service [updated]

2011-07-04T12:46:25-07:00

It would be nice if a host can depend on a service. This Feature would fix several Problems like VPN and VLAN. At this moment its only possible by using a hostdefinition for one of this Service. In a big statusmap with many VPN Tunnels and some VLAN's its very unorganised and confusing.

MaverrickTM said:

Hi dnsmichi,

yes it's wright but like i wrote: In a Big Statusmap with many VPN's and VLAN's its very unorganised and confusing. It's not a good solution for big setups with many Networks...

dnsmichi said:

you could also define a host, having the check on e.g. the vpn defined, and adding exactly that as dependency to the other host. this would remove the service itsself, but making the virtual host visible as e.g. vpn gateway and such. this would work for parents too.

Icinga with real distributed architecture [updated]

2011-07-03T05:54:26-07:00

Icinga is just awesome ... My company want to start a project with your software but, we need a real distributed architecture with multiple Icinga servers and MySQL DB which replicate them self to a head servers but no Icinga architecture enable this. Unfortunately, we move to Zabbix because its Zabbix Server/Zabbix Proxy meets our needs. I suggest to the dev team to developp a distributed architecture like Zabbix. In my opinion if you create this, Icinga will be the first one entreprise monitoring software. Best regards.

Sbayt said:

Because MySQL replication works in one way : one master, one or multi slave(s). But in our configuration, we have master in our branch offices and slave in our headquarter. In our headquarter, we need to view/configure all branch offices IT. MySQL Replication won't be useable.

group notifications [updated]

2011-07-03T05:52:00-07:00

http://ideas.nagios.org/a/dtd/Grouping-notifications/20743-3955 Would be nice if a host has multiple service problems, that the notifications will be grouped. Guess the first occurrence of a problem must be alarmed as a single notification and afterward only collected and grouped notification should be send out.

dnsmichi said:

i don't think that the core should implementat a logic on that, rather a message queue as an external addon (called via notification command) should be be able to add filters and groups on that. do you know NoMa and such?

User Customisable Notifications [is now under review]

2011-07-03T05:49:51-07:00

Different monitoring system users like to receive, and view, different information. In an ideal world, a user would be able to choose which hosts/services, or even host/service groups to receive notifications from. Imagine a case where a user of a massive implementation (something my company is looking at...) is a systems specialist and is interested in getting notifications from the systems/areas that they're actively interested in. Essentially, my suggestion is that users should be able to 'sign up' for notifications against given hosts/etc.

replication of multiple mysql rdbms shouldn't be the default target in a distributed system rather than creating a real distributed system. so i don't get the idea why icinga should be zabbix?
