profile::icinga::client

This profile installs and configured the nrpe service:

• Installs mod_gearman-static, nrpe-selinux, nrpe
• Instals Nagios plugins: nagios-plugins-disk, nagios-plugins-load
• Manages the NRPE service and ensures that is running and enabled
• Allows to configure the nrpe.cfg file with the icinga::client::servers setting which defaults to [ 'emonma00.psi.ch','wmonag00.psi.ch','emonag00.psi.ch' ] (default value on fresh nrpe installations)
• SELinux policy setup to allow nagios_run_sudo.

Is strictly important to set up aaa::allow_sudoers_d to true::

aaa::allow_sudoers_d: true

By setting allow_sudoers_d to true, we enable by default the use of the directory /etc/sudoers.d/. This will required for some Nagios alarms.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default
servers	Array	hiera('icinga::client::servers')
blame	Array	hiera('icinga::client::dont_blame_nrpe', 0)

servers

The local parameter for icinga::client::servers is servers. Defaults to [ 'emonma00.psi.ch','wmonag00.psi.ch','emonag00.psi.ch' ] which is the default value in the nrpe.cfg file on fresh nrpe installations. Somebody can overwrite this value with a new Array of Icinga servers. This Array will be converted to String afterwards:

...
Array $servers = hiera('icinga::client::servers'),
...
$icinga_servers = join($servers,",")
...

blame

With this option, the NRPE will allow clients to specify arguments in the commands. By default this is disabled: arguments must be specified in the NRPE daemon side and not from the client side. This option modifies the setting dont_blame_nrpe in the nrpe.cfg file.
