== How to add a host ==

=== How to add a host template ===

Before adding hosts, the host templates have to be added. These templates should have the details on how host needs to be checked.

=== Add a host ===

== How to add a Service ==

=== How to add a service template ===

Before adding services, the service templates has to be added,

=== Add a Service ===

After, services can be added as following as per requirements:

=== Check DNS ===

Add the service template to dns check as follows,

Rest is same as before we applied the services to the hosts.

== How to add an Agent==

==== Host template for agents ====

Agent settings are not available for modification directly on a host object. This requires you to create an “Icinga Agent” template. You could name it exactly like that; it’s important to use meaningful names for your templates.

For setting up an agent, Host template should be created using iCinga director as follows,

`Icinga director > Hosts > Host Templates`

Main Properties will be shown as following

[[Image(https://ws.learn.ac.lk/raw-attachment/wiki/NSM2021/Agenda/icinga_handson_cont/agent1_host_template.png, 600)]]

In the `Icinga agent and zone settings` , Following options should be selected,

'''NOTE : You should click deploy pending changes in Activity log section under Icinga Director'''

==== Adding hosts as agents ====

''Note : Always try to use meaningful names in configurations''

After creating host template for, host can be added as an agent for the system. 

`Icinga director > Hosts > Host`

As following example, the details should be assigned as per the requirement,

[[Image(https://ws.learn.ac.lk/raw-attachment/wiki/NSM2021/Agenda/icinga_handson_cont/adding_agent_host.png, 600)]]

After apply the deployment, setup preparation for agent has to be done

==== Before Executing the agent scripts... ====

Before executing the agent scripts in the relevant machines,

Icinga2 have to be installed in the Agent as following instructions below,

{{{

apt-get -y install apt-transport-https wget gnupg

wget -O - https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key | apt-key add -

. /etc/os-release; if [ ! -z ${UBUNTU_CODENAME+x} ]; then DIST="${UBUNTU_CODENAME}"; else DIST="$(lsb_release -c| awk '{print $2}')"; fi;

echo "deb https://packages.icinga.com/ubuntu icinga-${DIST} main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/${DIST}-icinga.list

echo "deb-src https://packages.icinga.com/ubuntu icinga-${DIST} main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/${DIST}-icinga.list

apt-get update

apt-get install icinga2 monitoring-plugins

}}}

'''Note : Please check the `/etc/hosts` file and verify that the agent is resolving for the FQDNvof master node before executing the agent scripts.'''
(Otherwise you will not be able to connect agent hosts with a certificate error)

`icinga director > hosts > host >`, click on the agent and agent tab contains the scripts for agent manual configurations.

Click on the agent host you added and a tab called Agent will be shown as in the following image,

[[Image(https://ws.learn.ac.lk/raw-attachment/wiki/NSM2021/Agenda/icinga_handson_cont/agent_scripts.png, 600)]]

You will see two scripts to execute on agent hosts.

They are for Agent deployment instructions, you will get Windows Kickstart Script and a command line script for the agents as above in the example.

Download them in the the agent hosts and execute the scripts for configurations.

`./icinga-agent.sh`

== How to check disk space ==

Before adding the service to check the disk space in a host,
add the service template for the diskspace with necessary commands as following image

[[Image(https://ws.learn.ac.lk/raw-attachment/wiki/NSM2021/Agenda/icinga_handson_cont/diskspace_service.png, 600)]]

And after, Please add the service to the host to monitor the diskspace as follows
