As mentioned in the mailing list (https://lists.icinga.org/pipermail/icinga-users/2016-March/010903.html), symlinked subfolders containing config files are ignored by Icinga2.
Practical example:

/etc/icinga2/zones.d/zone-1/hosts/ : Normal directory, containing config files
/etc/icinga2/zones.d/zone-1/i2ac : Symbolic link pointing to /etc/i2ac/zone-1
/etc/i2ac/zone-1/: Normal directory, containing config files

All config files within /etc/icinga2/zones.d/zone-1/hosts/ are parsed.
All config files within /etc/icinga2/zones.d/zone-1/i2ac/ are ignored.

You can reproduce this very easily as this happens generally on all subfolders.

This should be fixed in the master branch. Please test the patch and see if it works for you. Once the patch has been tested we're going to evaluate merging it into for 2.4.5.

• File added icinga2_11347_symlink_dir.png

Works as expected, thank you :)

mkdir /usr/local/icinga2/etc/symlink
vim /usr/local/icinga2/etc/symlink/test.conf

object Host "symlink-host" { check_command = "hostalive" }

ln -s /usr/local/icinga2/etc/symlink /usr/local/icinga2/etc/icinga2/conf.d/symlink

# icinga2 daemon | grep symlink

Additional information to this bug: It breaks the sync between master and satellite servers.
See mailing list https://lists.icinga.org/pipermail/icinga-users/2016-April/010964.html.

But this is probably fixed too with changeset https://dev.icinga.org/projects/i2/repository/revisions/71060be89a43891a36203a2be7d9007919b8927f.

I didn't have the time yet to test 2.4.5/git master but will soon and report back.
