Hi,

A coworker of mine spent some time finding a way to determine if an icinga 2 slave / agent instance refused reloading because of configuration issues and his most practical solution was checking for the corresponding logentry.

I can imagine it would be fairly easy to implement an internal variable which indicates if the current configuration (on the filesystem on the master or the current synchronised version on other hosts) is valid and icinga 2 can reload. Whenever the log message about an aborted restart due to invalid config is written to the logfile this variable could be set to false. When a reload / restart succeeds the variable is set to true. It imagine it would be fairly easy to create an embedded check like icinga or cluster that checks the state of this variable.

This way we still don't know if a slave / agent received the current configuration from the config master but at least we could detect problems with instances not running the synced configuration due to errors in it

Cheers,
Thomas
