The document discusses using Elastic Stack and Icinga together to monitor logs. It describes how Elastic Stack can collect, parse, and store logs centralized. Icinga can then be used for alerting on logs by connecting Logstash to pass log data to Icinga checks. Dashboards in Kibana provide a way to visualize logs and detect anomalies. The document provides examples of configurations and rules to monitor Icinga logs and integrate log monitoring into Icinga.

Talk by: Felix Joussein
Icinga is used to monitor and alert in case of temperature deviations in a GxP (pharmaceutical industry) regulated environment. The holy grale in a laboratpry environment are the study samples (animal but also human). So regulators (EMA, FDA,..) around the world want to ensure, that the sample-stability is at it’s best. To ensure this, depending on the known stability, certain temperature ranges in cooling-units are defined and have to be trackable thourghout the whole lifecycle of such a sample.

Efficient IT operations using monitoring systems and standardized tools - Ici...Icinga
Talk by: Magnus Lübeck
This talk will discuss Icinga as the “one stop shop” for finding the “single truth of systems state”. KMG Group use a “four field” model when designing systems, where Icinga have an important place in a section called “technical monitoring/technical performance monitoring”. We touch two methodologies (MOPS – Metrics, Operational tools, Processes, and Metrics), and Ted Dziuba’s actionable response to monitoring events.
Talk by: Stefano Bruno
Tornado is a high performance and scalable application written in Rust. It is able to handle millions of events each second on standard server hardware. The main objective of this talk is to show how you can extend an Icinga2 with Tornado through the three main modules: Tornado data collector, Tornado rule engine, Tornado executor. With Tornado we will able to receive events from different channels like SNMP Trap, Syslog, Email, SMS, Telegram and match them against a rule engine and decide which action to associate.
Talk by: Simon Gerber
Signalilo is a small webhook server for ingesting Prometheus alerts into Icinga2. Our motivation for creating Signalilo was to integrate alerts from existing Prometheus-based monitoring suites (e.g. for OpenShift Container Platform) into our company-wide Icinga2. Signalilo is currently deployed on 10 OpenShift clusters and forwards Prometheus alerts to Icinga2.
In this talk, I will present the basic design of Signalilo and give a short overview of how we use Signalilo in our production monitoring to forward Prometheus alerts to Icinga2.
Moving from Icinga 1 to Icinga 2 + Director - Icinga Camp Zurich 2019Icinga
Talk by: Christof Hanke
The Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF, formerly known as RZG) is using Icinga / Nagios for more than 10 years now. We have/had several instances for different areas, such as miscellaneous servers, clusters or even EU-Projects spanning several European sites. This talk is about our (still ongoing) transition from our icinga1 installation for general servers which is based on many config-files, changed by two people only, to a director based self-service. The goal is that our fellow admins can integrate new hosts by a few steps. The configuration is declarative. In the host-object they just choose templates and fill in fields and arrays. The actual icinga2-configuration is then done via apply-rules.
Icinga Director and vSphereDB - how they play together - Icinga Camp Zurich 2019Icinga
Talk by: Thomas Gelf
While the Icinga Director is the main configuration tool for Icinga, vSphereDB is a completely different beast. Icinga models everything around Hosts and Services, vSphereDB instead discovers your whole VMware infrastructure and builds a huge and deep inventory.
This talk wants to explain the reasoning behind this, shows what’s possible right now and where those powerful Icinga components are heading to in the near future.
NetEye 4 based on Icinga 2 - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Michele Santuari:
This slot will give insights in the new architecture of the actual NetEye 4 version based on Icinga 2, allowing further scalability to perform also complex event processing (CEP) over a large number of event streams. CEP scenarios will process the events based on the resource consumption limits. The ability to do fast in-memory processing of events such as filtering, grouping and aggregating this way enables to do real time analysis.
Integrating Icinga 2 and ntopng - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Simone Mainardi:
Icinga2 offers useful checks when it comes to monitoring hosts and services in the network. It can ping, test HTTP and DNS services, or establish network connections to make sure everything is up and running. However, such checks are not always enough to ensure the network is operating smoothly with healthy hosts and services. Can you be sure there is no unwanted traffic towards hosts believed to be malicious? What about unencrypted communications and weak TLS? Why has the throughput of an host surged today?
This talk discusses how Icinga2 can be integrated with ntopng to bring network checks a step forward. ntopng, a widely-known network visibility tool, will be used in combination with Icinga2 to create a framework for the timely detection of unwanted or suspicious activities in the network, beyond basic up-or-down checks.
DevOps monitoring: Best Practices using OpenShift combined with Icinga & Big ...Icinga
Talk by Marco Bizzantino:
In my talk I will demonstrate how monitoring works with the DevOps approach. Within an organisation, different people with different roles need to have a complete view over the whole infrastructure. One of the greatest benefits of Icinga is its ability to integrate with various tools and modules to satisfy the company’s requests. An example is OpenShift monitoring. I will point out the most important parts of monitoring OpenShift infrastructure while maintaining it’s complexity. In my approach I will show how we combine Icinga, Prometheus, Grafana and Elasticsearch for an overall OpenShift monitoring solution. Additional examples will show the benefits of using Icinga’s Business Process modelling to add more value to the result.
Best of Icinga Modules - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Bernd Erk:
Humans are creatures of habit – we have our environments, our tasks, our routine. Building up a routine takes a lot out of us – so as soon as we find something that works for us we stick with it. But is it effective? Are there tools that can make our life so much easier if we manage to integrate them into our routine? Of course, we’re in IT, there are always new and good tools! Only 2 more hurdles to clear – find the right tools for you and actually make the effort to integrate them into your routine.
The purpose of this talk is to help you with exactly that – I will show you the most important quality-of-life modules and add-ons for Icinga.All of them officially supported by the Icinga team and super easy to integrate into your system!
hallenges of Monitoring Big Infrastructure - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Blerim Sheqa:
Most monitoring environments are automated with configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef or Ansible. While these tools solve many problems, such as the initial setup, reproducibility and visibility, there are many other challenges that need to be tackled to truly monitor big environments. As a vendor of monitoring software, Icinga came up with unique approaches to solve some extraordinary problems to monitor large scale infrastructures. The methods are a result of real world problems as seen in the wild and applicable to many scenarios.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

15. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Search Server (based on Apache Lucene)
• Elastic, highly available, load balanced very resilient
• Extremely scalable
• REST-API for communication
Components of Elastic Stack: Elasticsearch
16. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Receive Logs from many sources
– Syslog
– Beats (Agents)
• Send to many targets
– Elasticsearch
– Icinga
• Parse, disect, transform, filter, enrich Logs
Components of Elastic Stack: Logstash
17. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Webinterface for Elastic Stack
• Search and filter logs
• Build Dashboards for Screens or interactive drill drown
Components of Elastic Stack: Kibana
18. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Lightweight agents
• Collect Filelogs (syslog) or Event Log
• More specialised beats available
– Icingabeat
– MySQL-beat
– Redisbeat
Components of Elastic Stack: Beats
20. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Hardly any „problem event“ has a corresponding „ok again“ event
• Hearing nothing from your hosts:
– Everything is fine
– Too dead to talk
End of the world or end of the problem?
21. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Automatically return to „OK“ after a while
– Send notifications
– Enrich with active monitoring
• Have someone check
– Can create lots of work
Best effort
23. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Use Elastic Stack to collect and store Logmessages
• Use Icinga for alerting
• Different ways of connecting
Combined forces
24. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Cumbersome configuration
– Still easier than full blown logmanagement?
• Not part of monitoring plugins
• Independent from everything else
– Use to avoid loops
– Monitor logmanagement infrastructure
Ye goode olde check_logfiles
25. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Full blown logmanagement solution
• Several ways of ingestion
– Reads logs from filesystem
– Receives logs from „icingabeat“ agent
• Several ways of monitoring
– „icinga“ output to API
– Icinga Web module „elasticsearch“
Elastic Stack & Icinga
28. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Use all actions of the API
– Process check result
– Add hosts
– Set downtimes
• Decide which data to use from what logevent in Logstash config
• Get results into Icinga in almost no time
• Use passive checks with automatic recovery

Icinga Web Modules „elasticsearch“
30. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Configure connection to Elasticsearch
• Set filters to identify logs
– Objectname in Icinga = Objectname in logs!
– Enforce Icinga Web permissions on logs
• Give Icinga users quick access to logs without allowing access to
Kibana

• Ready-to-use ruleset
– https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-logstash-pipeline
• Ingest Icinga Logs
• Have data parsed from logs
– „eventtype“ for every type of event
– Data like endpointnames, objectnames etc extracted
– Numbers like queuelengths extracted

• Use as a standalone Logstash pipeline
– Input and output for Redis are provided
– Clone git repo into configuration directory (and use *conf files)
– Rest of minimal config is provided in Readme
• Collect logs from masters, satellites, agents
• Get the whole picture what‘s going on in your monitoring

37. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Restrict to facility or severity
• Watch for spikes in logs
• View message just like in the logfile
Elastic Stack and Icinga
38. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
View details of an event
39. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Get Facility/Severity
• „Eventtype“ for every kind of logmessage
• Get related object (split into host, service, notification etc.)
• Get message specific details (pluginoutput, exitcodes etc.)
• Use all these fields for filters or graphs
Elastic Stack and Icinga
41. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• Use dashboards for screenwalls
– See problems arising before they get critical
– Get fresh status update during problems
• Use them interactively
– Klick on parts of graphs to create quick filters
– Make fast drilldowns
– Filter every item on the dashboard at once (graphs, event lists)
Elastic Stack and Icinga
43. 2019-09-03 | Icinga Camp Stockholm | Thomas Widhalm
• See unusual spikes in event flows
– Big benefit even for experienced log-greppers
• Get consolidated logs from all (or some) nodes
– Drill down to the problem at hand
