Make it possible to use director for configuration

[ananace]

If searchlight is able to orchestrate configuration through the Director, then it'd be possible to use it against a central Icinga instance without having to host it inside of Kubernetes.
This would make managing configuration such as notification and accesses much easier if there's an instance of Icinga already running, as there'd only be one system where such changes would have to be applied.

Another example of a module for orchestration configuration is the PuppetDB source.

you suggest to use searchlight as satellite and configure some parameters from director?

[ananace]

Being able to set up Searchlight as a full Icinga satellite would probably also solve the issue, as we already have a large monitoring setup with hardware notification methods attached, and don't want to have cluster monitoring in a separate environment.

Using the director as a check source was mainly though of as a possible way to maybe expedite the implementation of something along those lines.

then check this issue: #235

but i don't know how it works with director when you need to add new hosts/services dynamically from satellite.

@ananace , what sort things would you like to configure through Director?
