At the OSMC 2023 conference, we embarked on an exciting journey into the world of open-source monitoring. It was an event filled with inspiration, insights, and innovation.
Read MoreDo you ever need to reboot or do maintenance on your Windows Server? Then if the server is monitored by NetEye, you’ll surely want to mark it in downtime so as not to have notifications sent out for problems arising due to maintenance, and/or to be able to have the correct SLA marked for your…
Read MoreCustom Variables are widely used in the NetEye 4 (Icinga) monitoring system in order to tag/add information to a host/service. In order to speed up setting these variables, users use the inheritance mechanism to inherit them from parent objects (i.e. hosts). This feature is very useful, but sometimes it can create some doubt about what…
Read MoreIn one of my previous posts I mentioned the importance of downtime scheduling and shared an interesting example of a PowerShell script for managing downtime in Windows environments. Recently a customer asked me how to manage downtime with a similar solution, but for several hundred Linux servers monitored under NetEye. The reason is very simple:…
Read MoreIf you have a NetEye with SIEM Module activated or own an Elasticsearch installation then you have surely activated the Elasticsearch Snapshots to make backups of all your indexes (or at least the important ones). However you have to take a regular look at your Snapshots Reports to check that everything is working correctly. I…
Read MoreA very important, fast-evolving area during the latest NetEye releases has been multi-tenancy. In a system with many tenants, the most complex aspect is probably the proper and orderly management of user permissions. To help administrators in this task, we have introduced the concept of tenant role in NetEye 4.29. The tenant role is a…
Read MoreThe performance graphs present in NetEye are very useful for getting an immediate idea of the trend related to a service check, but they’re still limited to the metric being viewed. Also, the “Show all graphs” option available from the Actions menu of each monitored Host can have different usage limits due to the presence…
Read MoreIn my time at Wuerth Phoenix I’ve worked on upgrading the customactions and ondutymanager neteye modules, as well as developing a new module called AIA, which stands for Alert Interval Adjustment. In this blog post I’ll talk about the AIA module. The Pitch Suppose you’re a large company with a vast and complex IT infrastructure….
Read MoreWe fixed a bug that caused an error when generating a resource report in SLM with a large number of panels. For NetEye 4.22 we updated the following packages: icingaweb2-module-slm,icingaweb2-module-slm-autosetup to version 4.18.4-1 grafana-panel-renderer to version 1.2.2-1

Read MoreToday my objective is to collect the performance metrics from various NetEye Icinga checks and write them out to Elasticsearch so I can apply Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to identify potential anomalies. This is a task that’s not possible with the open-source version of InfluxDB installed in NetEye. Moreover, this data in Elastic is used…
Read MoreIn my second and last blog I want to talk about the procedure for writing Icinga Web 2 modules (icingaweb2-modules) for NetEye. This will be my last blog because as of today, I will sadly leave this company. In my short time here I’ve had the occasion to learn the art of making own Icinga…
Read MoreIn recent months many enterprise customers have asked me for a solution to create services on their monitored Icinga hosts automatically. They want a single point of insertion (like a list) for all services on the host as well as for the NetEye system to do all the work managing their creation and deletion. How…
