Prerequisite

• SLACK API WEbHook URL created. If you haven't created these, please consult here

We have created custom bash codes to translate Icinga notifications to Slack. Download them into the scripts directory.

cd /etc/icinga2/scripts

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LEARN-LK/Tutorials/master/Scripts/ICINGA2/icinga2-slack-host.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LEARN-LK/Tutorials/master/Scripts/ICINGA2/icinga2-slack-service.sh

chmod +x icinga2-slack-host.sh

chmod +x icinga2-slack-service.sh

Then log into Icinga Director and create two commands as follows.

Add following Arguments as well.

• Service Alarm to Slack

Create Custom Variables

Above scripts uses two custom variables called tokencode and chat_id, these are Telegram User specific data and we have to define them on Iciga Director before applying it on Notifications.

Go to Icinga Director --> Data Field Categories

Add a Data Category as below.

Then go to Icinga Director --> Define Data Fields

Create two new Data Fields as follows:

• Token Code

• Chat ID

Telegram Notification Templates

Create following templates with the given data.

• Telegram Host Notification Template

• Include custom fields we created earlier. Goto the Fields tab of the template and enter chat_id and tockencode as mandatory fields

• Telegram Service Notification Template

• Goto the Fields tab of the template and enter chat_id and tockencode as mandatory fields based on previous guidelines.

Create Notifications to Telegram

In this setup, we shall create two notifications setups for Hosts and Services respectively. When assigning notifications we should select a user rather than a user group to avoid multiple duplicates of notifications.

• Telegram-Host-Notification

• Telegram-Service-Notification

• Finally, Deploy the changes you did.
