Icinga2 Features

Icinga comes with a list of pre-configured modules to get started. These include the basic features for Icinga to function, like the api, checker, mainlog and notification. Furthermore we also ship some activated features, in specific the livestatus, influxdb, ido-mysql and icingadb. As a special feature that will only be pre-configured, but not automatically enabled, we have the neteye_datastreamwriter.

Neteye DatastreamWriter

The neteye_datastreamwriter feature comes pre-configured with the elastic-stack module. It is an alternative data sink for the influxdb writer that sends all the data to Elasticsearch. The pre-configured feature ships the permissions for Elasticsearch and configures the writer with the appropriate credentials in the form of client certificates.

Once activated, the feature will write the performance data of all checks out to Elasticsearch Datastreams. Each Datastream has a name in the format metrics-icinga2.<check>-<neteye_tenant> which includes the component template metrics-icinga2@custom for further optimizations, such as setting a lifecycle policy.

The writer also allows you to further customize the behavior, like adding custom tags and labels or filtering events out before sending them to Elasticsearch. To add additional information, please take a look at the config file. /neteye/shared/icinga2/conf/icinga2/features-available/neteye_datastreamwriter.conf Every available option that’s open to you is documented there until the feature with the official documentation is released to the general public by Icinga2

To enable the feature run the following commands on the node that owns icinga2-master:

master# icinga2-master feature enable neteye_datastreamwriter
master# systemctl restart icinga2-master

Note

You might want to disable the influxdb feature if you have enabled the neteye_datastreamwriter feature, as you are having the performance data duplicated otherwise, wasting disk space.
