If you assign an http_uri a string containing a "$", icinga2 will not be able to reload successfully, producing something like this:

$ sudo systemctl reload icinga2
Job for icinga2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status icinga2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

As far as I can tell, the "$" is a valid character for URIs:

$s have to be escaped in macro strings. That is, $$ turns into a single $. Can you post your config validation output here to confirm that this is the problem (icinga2 daemon -C)?

That's definitely a configuration issue, the daemon config validation will fail and tell you. Closing this one.
