Installing Icinga 2
|
|
|
|

===================

|
|
|
Please note that the current version of Icinga 2 isn't much more than a tech
|
|
|
|
|
demo. Expect some rough edges when installing and running Icinga 2.

For the "finished" version we're planning to release packages for the most
|
|
|
|
|
common Linux distributions as well as for Windows - or at least co-operate
|
|
|
|
|
with the package maintainers.

|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
The following requirements need to be fulfilled in order to build the
|
2012-09-18 12:38:08 +02:00
|
|
|
application using a dist tarball (package names for RHEL and Debian in
|
2013-09-25 15:47:39 +02:00
|
|
|
parentheses):
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00

|
|
|
In order to build a dist tarball for the application the following external
|
|
|
|
|
software components need to be installed in addition to the build requirements
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned above:
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|

Building Icinga 2
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|

2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Once you have installed all the necessary build requirements you can build
|
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2 using the following commands:
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
The configure script supports all the usual parameters one comes to expect
|
|
|
|
|
from autoconf. In particular you may want to use --prefix to specify an
|
|
|
|
|
alternative installation prefix.

|
|
|
Note: The Git repository does not contain any auto-generated Autotools files,
|
|
|
|
|
i.e. there is no 'configure' script. In this case you will need to regenerate
|
|
|
|
|
the 'configure' script by running 'autogen.sh'. However, as an end-user you
|
|
|
|
|
should reconsider whether you really want to use the code from the Git
|
|
|
|
|
repository. In general it is advisable to use one of the dist tarballs instead.

Running Icinga 2
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Icinga 2 comes with a single binary that takes care of loading all the relevant
|
|
|
|
|
components (e.g. for check execution, notifications, etc.):
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
$ /tmp/i2/bin/icinga
|
|
|
|
|
[2012/09/14 10:36:12] information/icinga: Icinga application loader (version:
|
|
|
|
|
2.0, git branch master, commit 8e4bdf38 + changes)
|
|
|
|
|
[2012/09/14 10:36:12] information/base: Syntax: ./bin/icinga -c <config-file> ...
|
2012-03-30 07:39:12 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-09-14 10:42:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Icinga 2 reads a single configuration file which is used to specify all
|
|
|
|
|
configuration settings (global settings, hosts, services, etc.). The
|
|
|
|
|
configuration format is explained in detail in the docs/icinga2-config.txt
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
2012-09-17 14:54:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default "make install" installs example configuration files to /etc/icinga2
|
|
|
|
|
unless you have specified a different prefix or sysconfdir.
