how to change hostname of icinga2 master server

in #icinga25 years ago (edited)

1.Install icinga2 using yum install icinga2. At this time, my hostname is still the generated one from Azure:

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# hostnamectl 
   Static hostname: vm-icinga2test-01
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: 97da09219a2d42489c8b8f748e6d2fb7
           Boot ID: cd88789023514e32a18a6b843068a1d2
    Virtualization: microsoft
  Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
            Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64
      Architecture: x86-64
[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# hostname --fqdn
vm-icinga2test-01.1fejhddejz1ulibi4ibt1rvwid.ax.internal.cloudapp.net



constants.conf looks like this:

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# grep Name /etc/icinga2/constants.conf 
//const NodeName = "localhost"
const ZoneName = NodeName

When I try to run icinga2 api setup at this stage, it will fail because the hostname is too long for x509.

2.Change var in constants.conf and change hostname

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname vm-icinga2test-01.example.com
[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# hostname --fqdn  
vm-icinga2test-01.example.com
[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# grep Name /etc/icinga2/constants.conf
const NodeName = "vm-icinga2test-01.example.com"
const ZoneName = NodeName

3.Perform icinga2 api setup which fails

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# icinga2 api setup
information/cli: Generating new CA.

4.Run icinga2 daemon -C:

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# icinga2 daemon -C

5.Re-run the setup

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# icinga2 api setup
information/cli: Generating new CA.
critical/cli: CA files '/var/lib/icinga2/ca//ca.crt' and '/var/lib/icinga2/ca//ca.key' already exist.
warning/cli: Found CA, skipping and using the existing one.

information/cli: Updating 'ZoneName' constant in '/etc/icinga2/constants.conf'.
information/cli: Backup file '/etc/icinga2/constants.conf.orig' already exists. Skipping backup.
Done.

Now restart your Icinga 2 daemon to finish the installation!

It seems to work this way. Also constants.conf is rewritten with correct vars set:

[root@vm-icinga2test-01 ~]# grep Name /etc/icinga2/constants.conf
const NodeName = "vm-icinga2test-01.example.com"
const ZoneName = "vm-icinga2test-01.example.com"

6.Run icinga2 node setup --master:

information/cli: Checking in existing certificates for common name 'vm-icinga2test-01.example.com...
