# Icinga 2 Addons and Integrations <a id="addons"></a>
|
||
|
||
For an uptodate overview of all integrations and modules,
|
||
please visit [https://icinga.com/products/](https://icinga.com/products/).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Icinga Reporting <a id="addons-reporting"></a>
|
||
|
||
The [Icinga Reporting Module](https://icinga.com/docs/reporting/latest/)
|
||
is the framework and foundation we created to handle data collected
|
||
by Icinga 2 and other data providers. By definition Icinga Reporting does not collect
|
||
or calculate any data. The framework processes usable data from data providers such as
|
||
Icinga’s IDO or Icinga Web 2 modules and makes them available in different formats.
|
||
|
||
It can display the data directly within the Icinga web interface or export it to PDF,
|
||
JSON or CSV format. With scheduled reports you can receive the prepared data periodically
|
||
via email.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Follow along in this [hands-on blog post](https://icinga.com/2019/06/17/icinga-reporting-hands-on/).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Graphs and Metrics <a id="addons-graphs-metrics"></a>
|
||
|
||
### Graphite <a id="addons-graphing-graphite"></a>
|
||
|
||
[Graphite](https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) is a time-series database
|
||
storing collected metrics and making them available through restful apis
|
||
and web interfaces.
|
||
|
||
Graphite consists of 3 software components:
|
||
|
||
* carbon -- a Twisted daemon that listens for time-series data
|
||
* whisper -- a simple database library for storing time-series data (similar in design to RRD)
|
||
* graphite webapp -- a Django webapp that renders graphs on-demand using Cairo
|
||
|
||
You need to install Graphite first, then proceed with configuring it in Icinga 2.
|
||
|
||
Use the [GraphiteWriter](14-features.md#graphite-carbon-cache-writer) feature
|
||
for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to Graphite.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
icinga2 feature enable graphite
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A popular alternative frontend for Graphite is for example [Grafana](https://grafana.org).
|
||
|
||
Integration in Icinga Web 2 is possible by installing the official [graphite module](https://icinga.com/docs/graphite/latest/).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### InfluxDB <a id="addons-graphing-influxdb"></a>
|
||
|
||
[InfluxDB](https://influxdb.com) is a time series, metrics, and analytics database.
|
||
It’s written in Go and has no external dependencies.
|
||
|
||
Use the [InfluxdbWriter](14-features.md#influxdb-writer) feature
|
||
for sending real-time metrics from Icinga 2 to InfluxDB.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
icinga2 feature enable influxdb
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A popular frontend for InfluxDB is for example [Grafana](https://grafana.org).
|
||
|
||
Integration in Icinga Web 2 is possible by installing the community [Grafana module](https://github.com/Mikesch-mp/icingaweb2-module-grafana).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### PNP <a id="addons-graphing-pnp"></a>
|
||
|
||
[PNP](https://www.pnp4nagios.org) is a graphing addon.
|
||
|
||
[PNP](https://www.pnp4nagios.org) is an addon which adds a graphical representation of the performance data collected
|
||
by the monitoring plugins. The data is stored as rrd (round robin database) files.
|
||
|
||
Use your distribution's package manager to install the `pnp4nagios` package.
|
||
|
||
If you're planning to use it, configure it to use the
|
||
[bulk mode with npcd and npcdmod](https://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/modes#bulk_mode_with_npcd_and_npcdmod)
|
||
in combination with Icinga 2's [PerfdataWriter](14-features.md#writing-performance-data-files). NPCD collects the performance
|
||
data files which Icinga 2 generates.
|
||
|
||
Enable performance data writer in icinga 2
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
icinga2 feature enable perfdata
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Configure npcd to use the performance data created by Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
vim /etc/pnp4nagios/npcd.cfg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Set `perfdata_spool_dir = /var/spool/icinga2/perfdata` and restart the `npcd` daemon.
|
||
|
||
There's also an Icinga Web 2 module for direct PNP graph integration
|
||
available at [Icinga Exchange](https://exchange.icinga.com/icinga/PNP).
|
||
|
||
## Visualization <a id="addons-visualization"></a>
|
||
|
||
### Maps <a id="addons-visualization-maps"></a>
|
||
|
||
This community module displays host objects as markers on openstreetmap in Icinga Web 2.
|
||
It uses the data provided by the monitoring module and as such the [DB IDO](14-features.md#db-ido)
|
||
from Icinga 2.
|
||
|
||
If you configure multiple hosts with the same coordinates, i.e. servers in a datacenter, a clustered view is rendered.
|
||
|
||
Check the [Map module docs](https://github.com/nbuchwitz/icingaweb2-module-map) for more details on
|
||
installation, configuration and integration.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Business Process <a id="addons-business-process"></a>
|
||
|
||
Create top-level views of your applications in a graphical editor.
|
||
Rules express dependencies between existing hosts and services and
|
||
let you alert on application level. Business processes are displayed
|
||
in a tree or list overview and can be added to any dashboard.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Certificate Monitoring <a id="addons-visualization-certificate-monitoring"></a>
|
||
|
||
Monitor your certificates in an efficient and comfortable way. Be aware of required
|
||
actions and view all details at a glance.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Dashing Dashboard <a id="addons-visualization-dashing-dashboard"></a>
|
||
|
||
The [Icinga 2 dashboard](https://github.com/dnsmichi/dashing-icinga2) is built
|
||
on top of Dashing and uses the [REST API](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api) to visualize what's going
|
||
on with your monitoring. It combines several popular widgets and provides development
|
||
instructions for your own implementation.
|
||
|
||
The dashboard also allows to embed the [Icinga Web 2](https://icinga.com/products/icinga-web-2/)
|
||
host and service problem lists as Iframe.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Log Monitoring <a id="log-monitoring"></a>
|
||
|
||
Using [Logstash](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/introduction.html) or
|
||
[Graylog](https://www.graylog.org) in your infrastructure and correlate events with your monitoring
|
||
is even simpler these days.
|
||
|
||
* Use the `GelfWriter` feature to write Icinga 2's check and notification events to Graylog or Logstash.
|
||
* Configure the logstash `nagios` output to send passive traps to Icinga 2 using the external command pipe.
|
||
* Execute a plugin to check Graylog alert streams.
|
||
|
||
