Icinga Template Library ¶
The Icinga Template Library (ITL) implements standard templates and object definitions.
There is a subset of templates and object definitions available:
- Generic ITL templates
- CheckCommand definitions for Icinga 2 (this includes icinga, cluster, cluster-zone, ido, etc.)
- CheckCommand definitions for Monitoring Plugins
- CheckCommand definitions for Icinga 2 Windows Plugins
- CheckCommand definitions for NSClient++
- CheckCommand definitions for Manubulon SNMP
- Contributed CheckCommand definitions
The ITL content is updated with new releases. Please do not modify templates and/or objects as changes will be overridden without further notice.
You are advised to create your own CheckCommand definitions in
/etc/icinga2
.
Generic Templates ¶
By default the generic templates are included in the icinga2.conf configuration file:
include <itl>
These templates are imported by the provided example configuration.
Note:
These templates are built into the binaries. By convention all command and timeperiod objects should import these templates.
plugin-check-command ¶
Command template for check plugins executed by Icinga 2.
The plugin-check-command
command does not support any vars.
By default this template is automatically imported into all CheckCommand definitions.
plugin-notification-command ¶
Command template for notification scripts executed by Icinga 2.
The plugin-notification-command
command does not support any vars.
By default this template is automatically imported into all NotificationCommand definitions.
plugin-event-command ¶
Command template for event handler scripts executed by Icinga 2.
The plugin-event-command
command does not support any vars.
By default this template is automatically imported into all EventCommand definitions.
legacy-timeperiod ¶
Timeperiod template for TimePeriod objects.
The legacy-timeperiod
timeperiod does not support any vars.
By default this template is automatically imported into all TimePeriod definitions.

ifw-api ¶
Built-in check command for executing arbitrary PowerShell check commands via the
Icinga for Windows REST API.
Consult that documentation for why and how to optimally use the ifw-api
command as an addon for existing Icinga clusters with Icinga for Windows.
In short, that feature lets the PowerShell processes spawned by Icinga just
talk to the pre-loaded IfW API instead of loading all PowerShell check commands
by itself on every check. In contrast, the ifw-api
command doesn’t even spawn
any process, but communicates directly with the IfW API.
It may be also used like e.g. check_by_ssh. Its custom variables provide high flexibility. From using a custom CA to controlling the IfW API directly from a Linux satellite.
Optional custom variables passed as command parameters:
Name | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
ifw_api_command | $command.name$ |
Command to run. |
ifw_api_arguments | {} (none) | Arguments for the command, similar to CheckCommand#arguments. |
ifw_api_host | null (localhost) | IfW API host. |
ifw_api_port | 5668 | IfW API port. |
ifw_api_expected_san | $ifw_api_host$ |
Peer TLS certificate SAN (and SNI). null means agent NodeName. |
ifw_api_cert | null (Icinga PKI) | TLS client certificate path. |
ifw_api_key | null (Icinga PKI) | TLS client private key path. |
ifw_api_ca | null (Icinga PKI) | Peer TLS CA certificate path. |
ifw_api_crl | null (none) | Path to TLS CRL to check peer against. |
ifw_api_username | null (none) | Basic auth username. |
ifw_api_password | null (none) | Basic auth password. |
Info
Due to how Icinga 2 resolves macros and serializes the resolved values for
sending to a command endpoint (if any), ifw_api_arguments may not directly
contain functions for the case ifw-api
is used with command endpoints. Only
macro strings referring to custom variables which are set to functions work.
Remarks¶
$command.name$
is resolved at runtime to the name of the specific check command being run and not any of the templates it imports, i.e. it becomes e.g. “Invoke-IcingaCheckCPU” if “ifw-api” is imported thereifw-api
connects to localhost (if ifw_api_host is null), but expects the peer to identify itself via TLS with the NodeName of the endpoint actually running the command (if ifw_api_expected_san is null)- The actual values of ifw_api_cert, ifw_api_key, ifw_api_ca and ifw_api_crl are also resolved to the Icinga PKI on the command endpoint if null
Plugin Check Commands for Monitoring Plugins ¶
The Plugin Check Commands provides example configuration for plugin check commands provided by the Monitoring Plugins project.
By default the Plugin Check Commands are included in the icinga2.conf configuration file:
include <plugins>
The plugin check commands assume that there’s a global constant named PluginDir
which contains the path of the plugins from the Monitoring Plugins project.
Note:
Please be aware that the CheckCommand definitions are based on the Monitoring Plugins, other Plugin collections might not support all parameters. If there are command parameters missing for the provided CheckCommand definitions please kindly send a patch upstream. This should include an update for the ITL CheckCommand itself and this documentation section.

Windows Plugins for Icinga 2 ¶
Note
These plugins are DEPRECATED in favor of our PowerShell Plugins and may be removed in a future release. Check the roadmap.
To allow a basic monitoring of Windows clients Icinga 2 comes with a set of Windows only plugins. While trying to mirror the functionalities of their linux cousins from the monitoring-plugins package, the differences between Windows and Linux are too big to be able use the same CheckCommands for both systems.
A check-commands-windows.conf comes with Icinga 2, it assumes that the Windows Plugins are installed in the PluginDir set in your constants.conf. To enable them the following include directive is needed in you icinga2.conf:
include <windows-plugins>
One of the differences between the Windows plugins and their linux counterparts is that they consistently do not require thresholds to run, functioning like dummies without.
Threshold syntax ¶
So not specified differently the thresholds for the plugins all follow the same pattern
Threshold | Meaning |
---|---|
“29” | The threshold is 29. |
“!29” | The threshold is 29, but the negative of the result is returned. |
“[10-40]” | The threshold is a range from (including) 10 to 40, a value inside means the threshold has been exceeded. |
”![10-40]” | Same as above, but the result is inverted. |

Plugin Check Commands for NSClient++ ¶
There are two methods available for querying NSClient++:
- Query the HTTP API locally from an Icinga 2 client (requires a running NSClient++ service)
- Run a local CLI check (does not require NSClient++ as a service)
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. One thing to note: If you rely on performance counter delta calculations such as CPU utilization, please use the HTTP API instead of the CLI sample call.
For security reasons, it is advised to enable the NSClient++ HTTP API for local connection from the Icinga 2 client only. Remote connections to the HTTP API are not recommended with using the legacy HTTP API.
nscp_api ¶
check_nscp_api
is part of the Icinga 2 plugins. This plugin is available for
both, Windows and Linux/Unix.
Verify that the ITL CheckCommand is included in the icinga2.conf configuration file:
vim /etc/icinga2/icinga2.conf
include <plugins>
check_nscp_api
runs queries against the NSClient++ API. Therefore NSClient++ needs to have
the webserver
module enabled, configured and loaded.
You can install the webserver using the following CLI commands:
./nscp.exe web install
./nscp.exe web password — –set icinga
Now you can define specific queries and integrate them into Icinga 2.
The check plugin check_nscp_api
can be integrated with the nscp_api
CheckCommand object:
Custom variables:
Name | Description |
---|---|
nscp_api_host | Required. NSCP API host address. Defaults to “$address$” if the host’s address attribute is set, “$address6$” otherwise. |
nscp_api_port | Optional. NSCP API port. Defaults to 8443 . |
nscp_api_password | Required. NSCP API password. Please check the NSCP documentation for setup details. |

nscp_api_arguments | Optional. NSCP API arguments dictionary either as single strings or key-value pairs using = . Refer to the NSCP documentation. |
nscp_api_arguments
can be used to pass required thresholds to the executed check. The example below
checks the CPU utilization and specifies warning and critical thresholds.
check_nscp_api --host 10.0.10.148 --password icinga --query check_cpu --arguments show-all warning='load>40' critical='load>30'
check_cpu CRITICAL: critical(5m: 48%, 1m: 36%), 5s: 0% | 'total 5m'=48%;40;30 'total 1m'=36%;40;30 'total 5s'=0%;40;30
nscp-local ¶
Icinga 2 can use the nscp client
command to run arbitrary NSClient++ checks locally on the client.
You can enable these check commands by adding the following the include directive in your icinga2.conf configuration file:
include <nscp>
You can also optionally specify an alternative installation directory for NSClient++ by adding the NscpPath constant in your constants.conf configuration file:
const NscpPath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NSClient++"
By default Icinga 2 uses the Microsoft Installer API to determine where NSClient++ is installed. It should not be necessary to manually set this constant.
Note that it is not necessary to run NSClient++ as a Windows service for these commands to work.
The check command object for NSClient++ is available as nscp-local
.

Hardware ¶
This category includes all plugin check commands for various hardware checks.
hpasm ¶
The check_hpasm plugin
monitors the hardware health of HP Proliant Servers, provided that the hpasm
(HP Advanced Server Management) software is installed. It is also able to monitor
the system health of HP Bladesystems and storage systems.
The plugin can run in two different ways:
- Local execution using the
hpasmcli
command line tool. - Remote SNMP query which invokes the HP Insight Tools on the remote node.
You can either set or omit hpasm_hostname
custom variable and select the corresponding node.
The hpasm_remote
attribute enables the plugin to execute remote SNMP queries if set to true
.
For compatibility reasons this attribute uses true
as default value, and ensures that
specifying the hpasm_hostname
always enables remote checks.
Custom variables passed as command parameters:

A test harness allows you to run many test cases and collect/report your results. WebInject offers real-time results display and may also be used for monitoring system response times.
Custom variables passed as command parameters:
Name | Description |

This is used to specify the location for writing output files (http.log, results.html, and results.xml). If a directory name is supplied (use either an absolute or relative path and make sure to add the trailing slash), all output files are written to this directory. If the trailing slash is omitted, it is assumed to a prefix and this will be prepended to the output files. You may also use a combination of a directory and prefix. |

webinject_timeout | Optional. The value [given in seconds] will be compared to the global time elapsed to run all the tests. If the tests have all been successful, but have taken more time than the ‘globaltimeout’ value, a warning message is sent back to Icinga. |
webinject_report_type | Optional. This setting is used to enable output formatting that is compatible for use with specific external programs. The available values you can set this to are: nagios, mrtg, external and standard. |
webinject_testcase_file | Optional. When you launch WebInject in console mode, you can optionally supply an argument for a testcase file to run. It will look for this file in the directory that webinject.pl resides in. If no filename is passed from the command line, it will look in config.xml for testcasefile declarations. If no files are specified, it will look for a default file named ‘testcases.xml’ in the current [webinject] directory. If none of these are found, the engine will stop and give you an error. |
