Icinga2 – check if the carbon service is running

My carbon process broke down a while ago. I figured out that my grafana wasn’t showing the actual data. So i made a icinga2 check if my carbon service is running.

root@monitoring:/etc/icinga2/zones.d/master/hosts# vim monitoring.conf

in the object host declaration:

vars.process["carbon"] = {
 procs_user = "_graphite"
 procs_command = "carbon-cache"
 }

root@monitoring:/etc/icinga2/zones.d/master/services# vim check_procs.conf

apply Service "check_procs-" for ( proc => config in host.vars.process ) {
 import "notification-enabled"
 import "5minute-service"

display_name = "Check: " + proc
 check_command = "procs"
 #check wird auf dem jeweiligen satelliten ausgeführt ->
 command_endpoint = host.name
 #wenn nichts drin steht wirds auf dem master ausgeführt

vars += config
}
