Hello,
I was wondering if there's a simple interface to provision new hosts
to icinga. I'm completely new to icinga but I have some experience
with Nagios, and I guess configuration is just the same (cfg files). I
have an asset management tool that holds most of the info needed for
icinga configuration, and I'd like to know if it's easy to inject that
data into the configuration files (i.e, there's an API for it) or if
I'd need to do an script that reads the asset management database and
generates the required configuration files for icinga. Maybe icinga
doesn't have that included, but might there be some piece of software
for icinga/nagios that allows you to manipulate the cfg files *and*
provides a simple API for it?
hmmm such a config manipulation api ist not yet there, mainly for the
reason of an ideal backend. it's still the config files like you know
from nagios, and pretty much the same on the config editors and their
api. you could look into nconf or nagiosql for importing the configs
once and how they do it.
but i'd rather create a custom script merging your data and satisfying
your exact needs. we are also having our own backend for various data,
which then gets generated. if you like, take a look at checkmk and it's
meta config capabilities in python. it might be wort a shot in "not
having to generate each and everything N times".
kind regards,
michael
Thanks in advance,
