We are using a central DB-Cluster, therefor Icinga2 got a database on this remote cluster. We used the icinga DB user, created during the step before, to import the DB schema. For this, the additional GRANT options `ALTER` and `CREATE` where needed to install the schema successfully via: ```bash mysql -u icinga -p icinga < /usr/share/icinga2-ido-mysql/schema/mysql.sql ``` Someone may find this a security problem. But I see two benefits: * these GRANT options are only set for the icinga.* database * this setup allows to execute also all later UPGRADE commands as the database user `icinga` - and not as the DB Administrator. Two additional notes: * I also included a small warning about the used default DB password * sadly, I have no way to change this also in the provided mariadb-centos7.png image, so this is left unchanged at the moment

About
Icinga is a monitoring system which checks the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting.
Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor large, complex environments across multiple locations.
Icinga 2 is the monitoring server and requires Icinga Web 2 on top in your Icinga Stack. The configuration can be easily managed with either the Icinga Director, config management tools or plain text within the Icinga DSL.
