Icinga-PagerDuty Integration via Chef

04 Mar 2013

I wrote a Chef recipe for enabling PagerDuty support in Icinga. With luck, it'll be merged into Marius Ducea's icinga cookbook. The code is here.

Usage

Configure PagerDuty

Add a service for Icinga: 1. Go to https://your-domain.pagerduty.com/services/new 1. Set the service type to "Nagios" 1. Add the service

Configure your monitoring node

1. Add the icinga::pagerduty recipe to your role

   name "monitoring"
   description "Monitoring server"
   run_list(
     "recipe[icinga]",
     "recipe[icinga::pagerduty]"
   )    
   

2. Get the new PagerDuty service's API key

3. Copy it into your node attributes:

   default_attributes({
     :icinga => {
       :pagerduty => {
         :service_key => "318e318e318e318e318e318e318ead29cf"
       }
   })
   

4. Run chef-client

Watch alerts show up in PagerDuty

You should now see alerts like these:

PagerDuty will automatically resolve these incidents as Icinga sends recovery notifications. More details here.
