Icinga Integration Guide

Icinga is an open-source computer system and network monitoring application. Integrate AlertOps’ alert management platform with Icinga to receive and respond to critical alerts through email, SMS, push notification, and phone alerts. AlertOps ensures that alerts received from Airbrake always reach the correct, available team member by utilizing escalation policies and on-call schedules.

Alert Triggering Information

Icinga2 Hosts: AlertOps will automatically create an incident when a new alert is received from Icinga with an IncidentStatus status of “DOWN.” If an alert with status “DOWN” matches an existing Open Alert, AlertOps will recognize the new alert as a duplicate and ignore the alert. The alert will be recorded in the Inbound Messages table as “Mapped Appended.”AlertOps will automatically close the same incident when an alert with an IncidentStatus status “UP” is received.

Icinga2 Services: AlertOps will automatically create an incident when a new alert is received from Icinga with an IncidentStatus status of “CRITICAL.” If an alert with status “CRITICAL” matches an existing Open Alert, AlertOps will recognize the new alert as a duplicate and ignore the alert. The alert will be recorded in the Inbound Messages table as “Mapped Appended.” AlertOps will automatically close the same incident when an alert with an IncidentStatus status “OK” is received.
