# <a id="getting-started"></a> Getting Started
|
||
|
||
This tutorial is a step-by-step introduction to installing [Icinga 2](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-icinga2)
|
||
and [Icinga Web 2](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-icingaweb2).
|
||
It assumes that you are familiar with the operating system you're using to install Icinga 2.
|
||
|
||
## <a id="setting-up-icinga2"></a> Setting up Icinga 2
|
||
|
||
First off you will have to install Icinga 2. The preferred way of doing this
|
||
is to use the official package repositories depending on which operating system
|
||
and distribution you are running.
|
||
|
||

Packages for distributions other than the ones listed above may also be
|
||
available. Please contact your distribution packagers.
|
||
|
||
### <a id="package-repositories"></a> Package Repositories
|
||
|
||
You need to add the Icinga repository to your package management configuration.
|
||
Below is a list with examples for the various distributions.

||
|
||
# wget -O - https://debmon.org/debmon/repo.key 2>/dev/null | apt-key add -
|
||
# echo 'deb http://debmon.org/debmon debmon-jessie main' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debmon.list
|
||
# apt-get update
|
||
|
||
Ubuntu (PPA):
|
||
|
||
# add-apt-repository ppa:formorer/icinga
|
||
# apt-get update

||
The packages for RHEL/CentOS depend on other packages which are distributed
|
||
as part of the [EPEL repository](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). Please
|
||
make sure to enable this repository by following
|
||
[these instructions](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F).

### <a id="installing-icinga2"></a> Installing Icinga 2
|
||
|
||
You can install Icinga 2 by using your distribution's package manager
|
||
to install the `icinga2` package.
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
|
||
# apt-get install icinga2
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS 5/6:
|
||
|
||
# yum install icinga2
|
||
# chkconfig icinga2 on
|
||
# service icinga2 start
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS 7 and Fedora:
|
||
|
||
# yum install icinga2
|
||
# systemctl enable icinga2
|
||
# systemctl start icinga2
|
||
|
||
SLES/openSUSE:
|
||
|
||
# zypper install icinga2
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD:
|
||
|
||
# pkg install icinga2
|
||
|
||
### <a id="installation-enabled-features"></a> Enabled Features during Installation
|
||
|
||
The default installation will enable three features required for a basic
|
||
Icinga 2 installation:
|
||
|
||
* `checker` for executing checks
|
||
* `notification` for sending notifications
|
||
* `mainlog` for writing the `icinga2.log` file
|
||
|
||
You can verify that by calling `icinga2 feature list`
|
||
[CLI command](8-cli-commands.md#cli-command-feature) to see which features are
|
||
enabled and disabled.
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature list
|
||
Disabled features: api command compatlog debuglog graphite icingastatus ido-mysql ido-pgsql livestatus notification perfdata statusdata syslog
|
||
Enabled features: checker mainlog notification
|
||
|
||
|
||
### <a id="installation-paths"></a> Installation Paths
|
||
|
||
By default Icinga 2 uses the following files and directories:
|
||
|
||
Path | Description
|
||
------------------------------------|------------------------------------
|
||
/etc/icinga2 | Contains Icinga 2 configuration files.
|
||
/etc/init.d/icinga2 | The Icinga 2 init script.
|
||
/usr/sbin/icinga2 | The Icinga 2 binary.
|
||
/usr/share/doc/icinga2 | Documentation files that come with Icinga 2.
|
||
/usr/share/icinga2/include | The Icinga Template Library and plugin command configuration.
|
||
/var/run/icinga2 | PID file.
|
||
/var/run/icinga2/cmd | Command pipe and Livestatus socket.

|
||
/var/lib/icinga2 | Icinga 2 state file, cluster log, local CA and configuration files.
|
||
/var/log/icinga2 | Log file location and compat/ directory for the CompatLogger feature.
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD uses slightly different paths:
|
||
|
||
By default Icinga 2 uses the following files and directories:
|
||
|
||
Path | Description
|
||
------------------------------------|------------------------------------
|
||
/usr/local/etc/icinga2 | Contains Icinga 2 configuration files.
|
||

|
||
/var/log/icinga2 | Log file location and compat/ directory for the CompatLogger feature.
|
||
|
||
## <a id="setting-up-check-plugins"></a> Setting up Check Plugins
|
||
|
||
Without plugins Icinga 2 does not know how to check external services. The
|
||
[Monitoring Plugins Project](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/) provides
|
||
an extensive set of plugins which can be used with Icinga 2 to check whether
|
||
services are working properly.
|
||
|
||
> **Note**
|
||
>
|
||
> These plugins are required to make the [example configuration](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#configuring-icinga2-overview)
|
||
> work out-of-the-box.
|
||
|
||
For your convenience here is a list of package names for some of the more
|
||
popular operating systems/distributions:
|
||
|
||
OS/Distribution | Package Name | Repository | Installation Path
|
||
-----------------------|--------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------
|
||
RHEL/CentOS | nagios-plugins-all | [EPEL](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins or /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
|
||
SLES/OpenSUSE | monitoring-plugins | [server:monitoring](https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/server:monitoring) | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu | nagios-plugins | - | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
|
||
FreeBSD | monitoring-plugins | - | /usr/local/libexec/nagios
|
||
OS X | nagios-plugins | [MacPorts](http://www.macports.org), [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) | /opt/local/libexec or /usr/local/sbin
|
||
|
||
The recommended way of installing these standard plugins is to use your
|
||
distribution's package manager.
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
|
||
# apt-get install nagios-plugins
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS:
|
||
|
||
# yum install nagios-plugins-all
|
||
|
||
The packages for RHEL/CentOS depend on other packages which are distributed
|
||
as part of the [EPEL repository](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). Please
|
||
make sure to enable this repository by following
|
||
[these instructions](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F).
|
||
|
||
Fedora:
|
||
|
||
# dnf install nagios-plugins-all
|
||
|
||
SLES/openSUSE:
|
||
|
||
# zypper install monitoring-plugins
|
||
|
||
The packages for SLES/OpenSUSE depend on other packages which are distributed
|
||
as part of the [server:monitoring repository](https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/server:monitoring).
|
||
Please make sure to enable this repository beforehand.
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD:
|
||
|
||
# pkg install monitoring-plugins
|
||
|
||
Depending on which directory your plugins are installed into you may need to
|
||
update the global `PluginDir` constant in your [Icinga 2 configuration](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#constants-conf).
|
||
This constant is used by the check command definitions contained in the Icinga Template Library
|
||
to determine where to find the plugin binaries.
|
||
|
||
> **Note**
|
||
>
|
||
> Please refer to the [plugins](14-addons-plugins.md#plugins) chapter for details about how to integrate
|
||
> additional check plugins into your Icinga 2 setup.
|
||
|
||
## <a id="running-icinga2"></a> Running Icinga 2
|
||
|
||
### <a id="init-script"></a> Init Script
|
||
|
||
Icinga 2's init script is installed in `/etc/init.d/icinga2` (`/usr/local/etc/rc.d/icinga2` on FreeBSD) by default:
|
||
|
||
# /etc/init.d/icinga2
|
||
Usage: /etc/init.d/icinga2 {start|stop|restart|reload|checkconfig|status}
|
||
|
||
The init script supports the following actions:
|
||
|
||
Command | Description
|
||
--------------------|------------------------
|
||
start | The `start` action starts the Icinga 2 daemon.
|
||
stop | The `stop` action stops the Icinga 2 daemon.
|
||
restart | The `restart` action is a shortcut for running the `stop` action followed by `start`.
|
||
reload | The `reload` action sends the `HUP` signal to Icinga 2 which causes it to restart. Unlike the `restart` action `reload` does not wait until Icinga 2 has restarted.
|
||
checkconfig | The `checkconfig` action checks if the `/etc/icinga2/icinga2.conf` configuration file contains any errors.
|
||
status | The `status` action checks if Icinga 2 is running.
|
||
|
||
By default the Icinga 2 daemon is running as `icinga` user and group
|
||
using the init script. Using Debian packages the user and group are set to
|
||
`nagios` for historical reasons.
|
||
|
||
### <a id="systemd-service"></a> systemd Service
|
||
|
||
Some distributions (e.g. Fedora, openSUSE and RHEL/CentOS 7) use systemd. The
|
||
Icinga 2 packages automatically install the necessary systemd unit files.
|
||
|
||
The Icinga 2 systemd service can be (re-)started, reloaded, stopped and also
|
||
queried for its current status.
|
||
|
||
# systemctl status icinga2

The `systemctl` command supports the following actions:
|
||
|
||
Command | Description
|
||
--------------------|------------------------
|
||
start | The `start` action starts the Icinga 2 daemon.
|
||
stop | The `stop` action stops the Icinga 2 daemon.
|
||
restart | The `restart` action is a shortcut for running the `stop` action followed by `start`.
|
||
reload | The `reload` action sends the `HUP` signal to Icinga 2 which causes it to restart. Unlike the `restart` action `reload` does not wait until Icinga 2 has restarted.
|
||
status | The `status` action checks if Icinga 2 is running.
|
||
enable | The `enable` action enables the service being started at system boot time (similar to `chkconfig`)
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
|
||
# systemctl enable icinga2
|
||
|
||
# systemctl restart icinga2
|
||
Job for icinga2.service failed. See 'systemctl status icinga2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
|
||
|
||
If you're stuck with configuration errors, you can manually invoke the
|
||
[configuration validation](8-cli-commands.md#config-validation).
|
||
|
||
### FreeBSD
|
||
|
||
On FreeBSD you need to enable icinga2 in your rc.conf
|
||
|
||
# sysrc icinga2_enable=yes
|
||
|
||
# service icinga2 restart
|
||
|
||
## <a id="configuration-syntax-highlighting"></a> Configuration Syntax Highlighting
|
||
|
||
Icinga 2 ships configuration examples for syntax highlighting using the `vim` and `nano` editors.
|
||
The RHEL and SUSE package `icinga2-common` installs these files into `/usr/share/doc/icinga2-common-[x.x.x]/syntax`
|
||
(where `[x.x.x]` is the version number, e.g. `2.4.3` or `2.4.4`). Sources provide these files in `tools/syntax`.
|
||
On Debian systems the `icinga2-common` package provides only the Nano configuration file (`/usr/share/nano/icinga2.nanorc`);
|
||
to obtain the Vim configuration, please install the extra package `vim-icinga2`. The files are located in `/usr/share/vim/addons`.
|
||
|
||
### <a id="configuration-syntax-highlighting-vim"></a> Configuration Syntax Highlighting using Vim
|
||
|
||
Install the package `vim-icinga2` with your distribution's package manager.
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
|
||
$ apt-get install vim-icinga2 vim-addon-manager
|
||
$ vim-addon-manager -w install icinga2
|
||
Info: installing removed addon 'icinga2' to /var/lib/vim/addons
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
|
||
|
||
$ yum install vim-icinga2
|
||
|
||
SLES/openSUSE:
|
||
|
||
$ zypper install vim-icinga2
|
||
|
||
Ensure that syntax highlighting is enabled e.g. by editing the user's `vimrc`
|
||
configuration file:
|
||
|
||
$ vim ~/.vimrc
|
||
syntax on
|
||
|
||
Test it:
|
||
|
||
$ vim /etc/icinga2/conf.d/templates.conf
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
### <a id="configuration-syntax-highlighting-nano"></a> Configuration Syntax Highlighting using Nano
|
||
|
||
Install the package `nano-icinga2` with your distribution's package manager.
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
|
||
**Note:** The syntax files are installed with the `icinga2-common` package already.
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
|
||
|
||
$ yum install nano-icinga2
|
||
|
||
SLES/openSUSE:
|
||
|
||
$ zypper install nano-icinga2
|
||
|
||
Copy the `/etc/nanorc` sample file to your home directory.
|
||
|
||
$ cp /etc/nanorc ~/.nanorc
|
||
|
||
Include the `icinga2.nanorc` file.
|
||
|
||
$ vim ~/.nanorc
|
||
|
||
## Icinga 2
|
||
include "/usr/share/nano/icinga2.nanorc"
|
||
|
||
Test it:
|
||
|
||
$ nano /etc/icinga2/conf.d/templates.conf

## <a id="setting-up-icingaweb2"></a> Setting up Icinga Web 2
|
||
|
||
Icinga 2 can be used with Icinga Web 2 and a number of other web interfaces.
|
||
This chapter explains how to set up Icinga Web 2.
|
||
|
||
The DB IDO (Database Icinga Data Output) modules for Icinga 2 take care of
|
||
exporting all configuration and status information into a database. The IDO
|
||
database is used by a number of projects including
|
||
[Icinga Web 2](2-getting-started.md#setting-up-icingaweb2), Icinga Reporting
|
||
or Icinga Web 1.x.
|
||
|
||
There is a separate module for each database backend. At present support for
|
||
both MySQL and PostgreSQL is implemented.

|
||
|
||
The next step is to install the `icinga2-ido-mysql` package using your
|
||
distribution's package manager.
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
|
||
# apt-get install icinga2-ido-mysql
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS:
|
||
|
||
# yum install icinga2-ido-mysql
|
||
|
||
SUSE:
|
||
|
||
# zypper install icinga2-ido-mysql
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD:
|
||
|
||
On FreeBSD the IDO modules for MySQL are included with the icinga2 package
|
||
and located at /usr/local/share/icinga2-ido-mysql/schema/mysql.sql
|
||
|
||
> **Note**
|
||
>
|
||
> The Debian/Ubuntu packages provide a database configuration wizard by
|
||

|
||
|
||
#### <a id="setting-up-mysql-db"></a> Setting up the MySQL database
|
||
|
||
Set up a MySQL database for Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
# mysql -u root -p
|
||
|
||
mysql> CREATE DATABASE icinga;
|
||
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, CREATE VIEW, INDEX, EXECUTE ON icinga.* TO 'icinga'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'icinga';
|
||
mysql> quit
|
||
|
||
![setting up the database on CentOS 7](images/getting-started/mariadb-centos7.png "Setting up the database on CentOS 7")
|
||
|
||
After creating the database you can import the Icinga 2 IDO schema using the
|
||
following command:
|
||
|
||
# mysql -u root -p icinga < /usr/share/icinga2-ido-mysql/schema/mysql.sql
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### <a id="enabling-ido-mysql"></a> Enabling the IDO MySQL module
|
||
|
||
The package provides a new configuration file that is installed in
|
||
`/etc/icinga2/features-available/ido-mysql.conf`. You will need to
|
||
update the database credentials in this file.
|
||
|
||
All available attributes are explained in the
|
||
[IdoMysqlConnection object](6-object-types.md#objecttype-idomysqlconnection)
|
||
chapter.
|
||
|
||
You can enable the `ido-mysql` feature configuration file using
|
||
`icinga2 feature enable`:
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature enable ido-mysql
|
||
Module 'ido-mysql' was enabled.
|
||
Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
|
||
|
||
After enabling the ido-mysql feature you have to restart Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS 6 and SUSE:
|
||
|
||
# service icinga2 restart

|
||
#### Setting up the PostgreSQL database
|
||
|
||
Set up a PostgreSQL database for Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
# cd /tmp
|
||
# sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE ROLE icinga WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'icinga'"
|
||
# sudo -u postgres createdb -O icinga -E UTF8 icinga
|
||
# sudo -u postgres createlang plpgsql icinga
|
||
|
||
> **Note**
|
||
>
|
||
> When using PostgreSQL 9.x you can omit the `createlang` command.
|
||
> Also it is assumed here that your locale is set to utf-8, you may run into
|
||
> problems otherwise.
|
||
|
||
Locate your pg\_hba.conf (Debian: `/etc/postgresql/*/main/pg_hba.conf`,
|
||
RHEL/SUSE: `/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf`), add the icinga user with md5
|
||
authentication method and restart the postgresql server.
|
||
|
||
# icinga
|
||
local icinga icinga md5
|
||
host icinga icinga 127.0.0.1/32 md5
|
||
host icinga icinga ::1/128 md5
|
||
|

# IPv6 local connections:
|
||
host all all ::1/128 ident
|
||
|
||
# service postgresql restart
|
||
|
||
|
||
After creating the database and permissions you can import the Icinga 2 IDO
|
||
schema using the following command:

FreeBSD:
|
||
Please consult the [FreeBSD Handbook](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html) how to configure one of FreeBSD's firewalls.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### <a id="setting-up-external-command-pipe"></a> Setting Up External Command Pipe
|
||
|
||
Web interfaces and other Icinga addons are able to send commands to
|
||
Icinga 2 through the external command pipe.
|
||
|
||
You can enable the External Command Pipe using the CLI:
|
||
|
||
# icinga2 feature enable command
|
||
|
||
After that you will have to restart Icinga 2:
|
||
|
||
Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS 6 and SUSE:
|
||
|
||
# service icinga2 restart
|
||
|
||
RHEL/CentOS 7 and Fedora:
|
||
|
||
# systemctl restart icinga2
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD:
|
||
|
||
# service icinga2 restart
|
||
|
||
By default the command pipe file is owned by the group `icingacmd` with
|
||
read/write permissions. Add your webserver's user to the group `icingacmd` to
|
||
enable sending commands to Icinga 2 through your web interface:
|
||
|
||
# usermod -a -G icingacmd www-data
|
||
|
||
FreeBSD:
|
||
On FreeBSD the rw directory is owned by the group `www`. You do not need to add the
|
||
user `icinga` to the group `www`.
|
||
|
||
Debian packages use `nagios` as the default user and group name. Therefore
|
||
change `icingacmd` to `nagios`.
|
||
|
||
The webserver's user is different between distributions so you might have to
|
||
change `www-data` to `wwwrun`, `www`, or `apache`.
|
||
|
||
Change `www-data` to the user you're using to run queries.
|
||
|
||
You can verify that the user has been successfully added to the `icingacmd`
|
||
group using the `id` command:
|
||
|
||
$ id <your-webserver-user>
|
||
|
||
![id command on CentOS 7](images/getting-started/id-apache-centos7.png "Confirm that the webserver's user
|
||
(here: `apache` on a CentOS 7 system) is a member of the group `icingacmd`.")
