icinga2-autoack

This script listens to Icinga2 API and acknowledges hosts and services during their downtimes.

It also acknowledges hosts and services with autoack variable set.

Why? Because there are some buggy notification tools which do not honor "in downtime" but does work with acknowledged state. 🤦

Code maturity

This program is in proof-of-concept state. But it is already used in production. 🤷

How to start

Create Icinga2 API user in `/etc/icinga2/apiusers.conf

object ApiUser "autoack" {
        password = "mrznawrxbxbg"
        permissions = [
            "objects/query/Host",
            "objects/query/Service",
            "objects/query/Downtime",
            "actions/acknowledge-problem",
            "events/*",
            "status/query",
        ]
}

Create icinga2-api.ini in the directory the script will be executed according to icinga2api module configuration. In case you installed the distribution package from releases, this would be in /opt/icinga2-autoack.

[api]
url = https://my-icinga-hostname:5665/
username = autoack
password = mrznawrxbxbg
ca_certificate = ./icinga2-ca.crt

Copy certificate from /var/lib/icinga2/ca/ca.crt to the directory, the script will be executed as icinga2-ca.crt. In case you installed the distribution package from releases, this would be in /opt/icinga2-autoack.

Start the script (possibly in Pipfile managed virtualenv). In case of distribution package run

sudo systemctl restart icinga2-autoack
