Icinga/Nagios test using zonemaster.

Zonemaster is a great tool to verify that you have set up your domainservers correctly. You can test it out on https://zonemaster.iis.se/en/

I want my icinga server to this automaticly so i will get a warning as soon something changes, so lets do that. First thing you need to now is that Zonemaster is a tool and is freely available on Github. you can download it and run it on your own machine.

Start NRPE after openvpn tunnel is connected

NRPE will not start if its server address is a openvpn ip and the tunnel is not yet established when NRPE tries to start. to solve this. create a new systemd file

systemctl -all | grep ovpn
cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service /etc/systemd/system/nrpe.service

Add your tun device to Requires and After. Note you need the systemD name of your tune device. in this case. OpenVPN was configured to use tun ovpn-gwSamuel check systemctl for its correct name. The result should look something like this. Notice the esacped dash sign in the name.
