HTTP Interface

request almost all Icinga database fields that are supported by Icinga-API (which covers almost all fields)by Icinga-API (which covers almost all fields)

filter via nested AND and OR groups (Condition 1 AND (Condition 2 OR (Condition 3 AND Condition 4)) etc )(Condition 2 OR (Condition 3 AND Condition 4))..etc.)

add Order, Limit, Group By

get data via XML or JSON get data via XML or JSON

sending commands via PUT

HTTP Interface - Examplep

Major problems in distributed and large environmentsj p g

loadbalancing• check slave availability

• dynamic check distribution

• specific checks must be forwarded to specific instances

commands are not distributed• there is only a “workaround” for the new web available

transport-layer of check results and commandsp y• ssh-quickfix solution for distributed commands

• NSCA is buggy like hell and should be replacedNSCA is buggy like hell and should be replaced

an abstract interface to the core-elements is needed

Problems with existing implementationsg p

config split and distribution• difficult management

• prone to error

DNX (distributed nagios executor)• single point of failure architecture

• not able to handle specific network zones

mod gearman_g• looks good so far, but very new

• network protocolnetwork protocol

based on NEB-Interface

NEB disadvantagesg

NEB-Development is limited to C/C++ Coders

it is not possible to change a NEB at runtime

NEB’s must reside on the same servers ust es de o t e sa e se e

in the worst-case scenario a NEB could crash the Icinga processprocess

changes to the Icinga-Core can break a NEB

we will implement the architecture step by step

• the classic way is still working

• we have a loosely coupled transport and executing processy p p g p

flexibility

t l i th ibilit t h k th• external processes give us the possibility to check the Icinga infrastructure availability

diff t t l b d d i di id l• different protocols can be used and an individual distribution solution could be implemented

Reportingp g

base reporting based on Jasper is finished

reporting package is downloadable on

http://sourceforge net/projects/icinga/• http://sourceforge.net/projects/icinga/

• https://git.icinga.org/?p=icinga-reports.git

the only thing you need is a JasperServer

single line installation available

• /js-import sh --input-zip icinga report package zip./js import.sh input zip icinga_report_package.zip

Icinga web integration is planned for next year
