Icinga2 Automated
summary
Concrete automation recipes for Icinga2 using Ansible to install packages from backports, provision PKI, and register agents are shown; CMDB fields are mapped into Icinga2 object templates and the REST API is used to accept CSV to create many hosts. A demo writes config files and updates the web UI to show the new hosts; a VM-creation script runs but hangs in the demo. Notes cover NRPE security pitfalls, unreliable NSClient++ on Windows, and a recommendation to reuse Puppet PKI for easier integration.
