Create your first Business Process Node

A Business Process Node consists of a name, title, an operator and one or more child nodes. Each node can be a Root Node, a child node of other Business Process Nodes, or both. When you first create a Business Process, there are no nodes available, so you will be prompted to create one.

Configuring Your First Node

To create our first Business Process Node, click on the Add button. You will then see the node configuration form (an asterisk indicates a required field):

../../_images/add-new-node.png

Fig. 127 The Business Process node configuration form.

Configuring a Business Process requires filling in the following fields:

  • ID: The first setting is the identifier that must be unique across all nodes that will be defined. This identifier will be used within every URL and also within any Check Commands referring to this node by an Icinga Service Check.

  • Display Name: (Optional) As uniqueness sometimes leads to not-so-beautiful names, you can also specify a display title which will be used across all dashboards.

  • Operator: A Business Process’ operator defines its behavior, specifying how its own state will be calculated. It can be one of AND, OR, NOT, DEG or MIN.

  • Visualization: This describes when the node should be displayed. Since this node will be a root node, the form automatically suggests that you create a Toplevel Process. Alternatively, you could also create a Subprocess. As we are currently not adding this node to another node, that choice would lead to an Unbound Node that could be linked to later on.

  • Info URL: (Optional) You might also want to provide a link to additional information related to a specific process. This could be instructions with more technical details, or hints explaining what should happen if an outage occurs. You might not want to do so for every single node, but it might come in handy for your most important (e.g., top level or high priority) nodes.

Completed Business Process Node

That’s it, you are ready to submit the form. After clicking the green “Submit” button, you should see your first completed Business Process Node. A red notification as in Fig. 128 reminds you that your pending changes have not been stored yet.

You can now Store the Configuration as is, or move on to add additional nodes to continue your configuration. In the latter case, you will also need to select a Node type. This can be either:

  • Existing Process (Node): When you want to link this node to another node you have already created. Choose the appropriate existing node from the drop down list, then click the green “Submit” button. (Be sure not to link this node to itself.)

  • New Process Node: Here you can create a new, independent root-level node.

  • Host: When you have created the lowest level of intermediate nodes in your business process hierarchy, you can add the hosts that you would like to monitor as part of that business process.

  • Service: For each host in your business process hierarchy, you can specify particular services on the host that are part of the business process, and thus exclude other, irrelevant services on that host.

  • Hosts from filter: You can select one or more hosts in a single

    operation to be added to your business process, starting from a monitoring filter expression (e.g., host_name=*linux*).

  • Services from filter: You can select one or more services in a single

    operation to be added to your business process, starting from a monitoring filter expression (e.g., service_description=*disk*).

Note

While you can create Business Process nodes whenever you like, you cannot add Host and Service nodes until you have created the underlying hosts and services themselves. Thus you should complete that step before setting up your business process hierarchy.

To edit a node you have already created, click on the “Unlock” button and then choose the “Notepad” icon on the node you wish to change.

Note

The grey arrows below the Business Process title are breadcrumbs that show your current position. Their use is described in more detail in the official Business Process documentation.
