Same graph for all checks with same name

[nc-gsf]

My setup:

One master, several clients/satellites. Checks run via service apply rules. Obviously, the checks have the same name.

What I want:

I want to have a dedicated graph for all checks.

My problem:

If I assign a graph for a check, define the dashboard it runs on, no matter what I do, it shows this graph for all checks with the same name.

My question:

Is this a feature which is just not implemented, or am I doing something wrong?

Please post your module config and the graph config.

this looks ok, but the default dashboard should show the servicename of the services without a own graph configuration.

[nc-gsf]

What do you mean by this?

Is it actually possible for the module to show me a dedicated graph for every single check. Let's say I have 5 linux-load checks. Now, it shows me one linux-load graph. The one I configured. I can not configure any more graphs with the same name, so I only see 1 graph corresponding to the host I configured it for. But on all 5 hosts.

Is it possible to show a graph for every dedicated host and check, although they all have the same name? And if so, please explain to me how.

[Mikesch-mp]

It is for every host, the module sends hostname, servicename , commandoname to grafana, if you use provided templates like the icinga-default it works out of the box. Also for the provided itl dashboards.
If you create your own dashboard you can read the howto in my docs. the important thing is templating, you need to use variables in your dashboard.

I see.

If I understand you correctly, I have to define one panel, which has all the services and their metrics. I then define the panel ID in the Icinga module, right?

I tried to do that, but when choosing the $command variable, I can not choose any further metrics. In Icinga, the names are shown correctly but it says No data point on the graph.

If I use the hard coded command name in the panel, it shows the correct host and graph in Icinga, but for all graphs. I tried using dedicated panels for the services, but the module config only lets me define one default panel and you said it would work without defining dedicated graphs per service. What am I doing wrong?

Just import the provided dashboards and play arond with them. just import the right ones, depeding on your backend (graphite or influxdb).

Everything works with the provided templates. Thank you for taking the time!
