Auto Discovery with Icinga

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Live demo shows automatic creation of Icinga host and service configs from agent facts via Puppet/OpenVox and Hiera, avoiding the Director and using PuppetDB to push compiled catalogs; per-distro service choices (Debian vs RHEL) and per-node check commands are generated, disk checks appear from a mountpoints fact so new mounts auto-create services, and local vs remote plugins are handled. The demo’s Puppet runs fail live, but the code produces the described config when it runs. dynamic mount-based checks
