```
The packages for newer versions of Amazon Linux don't require additional repositories.
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if windows %} -->
### Icinga for Windows Repository <a id="icinga-for-windows-repository"></a>
[Icinga for Windows](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-for-windows/latest/doc/000-Introduction/) is the recommended
way to install and update Icinga 2 on Windows.
We provide a dedicated repository for Windows to simplify the installation. Please refer to the official
[Icinga for Windows installation docs](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-for-windows/latest/doc/110-Installation/01-Getting-Started/)
<!-- {% else %} -->
## Install Icinga 2 <a id="installing-icinga2"></a>
You can install Icinga 2 by using your distribution's package manager
to install the `icinga2` package. The following commands must be executed
with `root` permissions unless noted otherwise.
<!-- {% if centos or rhel or fedora or amazon_linux %} -->
!!! tip
If you have [SELinux](22-selinux.md) enabled, the package `icinga2-selinux` is also required.
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu or raspbian %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Debian / Ubuntu / Raspbian
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
apt install icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if centos %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### CentOS
<!-- {% endif %} -->
!!! info
Note that installing Icinga 2 is only supported on CentOS 7 as CentOS 8 is EOL.
```bash
yum install icinga2
systemctl enable icinga2
systemctl start icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if rhel %} -->
#### RHEL 8 or Later
```bash
dnf install icinga2
systemctl enable icinga2
systemctl start icinga2
```
#### RHEL 7
```bash
yum install icinga2
systemctl enable icinga2
systemctl start icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if fedora %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Fedora
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
dnf install icinga2
systemctl enable icinga2
systemctl start icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if sles or opensuse %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### SLES / openSUSE
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
zypper install icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if amazon_linux %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Amazon Linux
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
yum install icinga2
systemctl enable icinga2
systemctl start icinga2
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
### Systemd Service <a id="systemd-service"></a>
The majority of supported distributions use systemd. The Icinga 2 packages automatically install the necessary
systemd unit files.
If you're stuck with configuration errors, you can manually invoke the
[configuration validation](11-cli-commands.md#config-validation).
```bash
icinga2 daemon -C
```
!!! tip
If you are running into fork errors with systemd enabled distributions,
please check the [troubleshooting chapter](15-troubleshooting.md#check-fork-errors).
## Set up Check Plugins <a id="setting-up-check-plugins"></a>
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.
These plugins are required to make the [example configuration](04-configuration.md#configuring-icinga2-overview)
work out-of-the-box.
Depending on which directory your plugins are installed into you may need to
update the global `PluginDir` constant in your [Icinga 2 configuration](04-configuration.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.
!!! tip
Please refer to the [service monitoring](05-service-monitoring.md#service-monitoring-plugins) chapter for details about how to integrate
additional check plugins into your Icinga 2 setup.
<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu or raspbian %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Debian / Ubuntu / Raspbian
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
apt install monitoring-plugins
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if centos %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### CentOS
<!-- {% endif %} -->
The packages for CentOS depend on other packages which are distributed as part of the EPEL repository.
```bash
yum install nagios-plugins-all
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if rhel %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### RHEL
<!-- {% endif %} -->
The packages for RHEL depend on other packages which are distributed as part of the EPEL repository.
#### RHEL 8 or Later
```bash
dnf install nagios-plugins-all
```
#### RHEL 7
```bash
yum install nagios-plugins-all
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if fedora %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Fedora
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
dnf install nagios-plugins-all
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if sles or opensuse %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### SLES / openSUSE
<!-- {% endif %} -->
The packages 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.
```bash
zypper install --recommends monitoring-plugins-all
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if amazon_linux %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
#### Amazon Linux
<!-- {% endif %} -->
The packages for **Amazon Linux 2** depend on other packages which are distributed as part of the EPEL repository.
```bash
amazon-linux-extras install epel
yum install nagios-plugins-all
```
Unfortunately newer versions of Amazon Linux don't provide those plugins, yet.
<!-- {% endif %} -->
## Set up Icinga 2 API <a id="set-up-icinga2-api"></a>
Almost every Icinga 2 setup requires the Icinga 2 API as Icinga Web connects to it, Icinga DB requires it,
and it enables cluster communication functionality for highly available and distributed setups.
!!! info
If you set up a highly available and/or distributed Icinga monitoring environment, please read the
[Distributed Monitoring](06-distributed-monitoring.md#distributed-monitoring) chapter as
the commands to set up the API are different from setting up a single node setup.
See the [API](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api-setup) chapter for details,
or follow the steps below to set up the API quickly:
Run the following command to:
* enable the `api` feature,
* set up certificates, and
* add the API user `root` with an auto-generated password in the configuration file
`/etc/icinga2/conf.d/api-users.conf`.
```bash
icinga2 api setup
```
Restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
```bash
systemctl restart icinga2
```
<!-- {% if amazon_linux or centos or debian or rhel or sles or ubuntu %} -->
## Set up Icinga DB <a id="set-up-icinga-db"></a>
Icinga DB is a set of components for publishing, synchronizing and
visualizing monitoring data in the Icinga ecosystem, consisting of:
* Icinga 2 with its `icingadb` feature enabled,
responsible for publishing monitoring data to a Redis server, i.e. configuration and its runtime updates,
check results, state changes, downtimes, acknowledgements, notifications, and other events such as flapping
* The [Icinga DB daemon](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db),
which synchronizes the data between the Redis server and a database
* And Icinga Web with the
[Icinga DB Web](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db-web) module enabled,
which connects to both Redis and the database to display and work with the most up-to-date data
![Icinga DB Architecture](images/icingadb/icingadb-architecture.png)
!!! info
Setting up Icinga 2's Icinga DB feature is only required for Icinga 2 master nodes or single-node setups.
### Set up Redis Server <a id="set-up-redis-server"></a>
A Redis server from version 6.2 is required.
!!! info
This guide sets up the `icingadb-redis` package provided by Icinga,
which ships a current Redis Server version and is preconfigured for the Icinga DB components.
Using own Redis server setups is supported as long as the version requirements are met.
![Icinga DB Redis](images/icingadb/icingadb-redis.png)
!!! tip
Although the Redis server can run anywhere in an Icinga environment,
we recommend to install it where the corresponding Icinga 2 node is running to
keep latency between the components low.
#### Install Icinga DB Redis Package <a id="install-icinga-db-redis-package"></a>
Use your distribution's package manager to install the `icingadb-redis` package as follows:
<!-- {% if amazon_linux %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
##### Amazon Linux
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
yum install icingadb-redis
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if centos %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
##### CentOS
<!-- {% endif %} -->
!!! info
Note that installing Icinga DB Redis is only supported on CentOS 7 as CentOS 8 is EOL.
```bash
yum install icingadb-redis
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
##### Debian / Ubuntu
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
apt install icingadb-redis
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if rhel %} -->
##### RHEL 8 or Later
```bash
dnf install icingadb-redis
```
##### RHEL 7
```bash
yum install icingadb-redis
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
<!-- {% if sles %} -->
<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
##### SLES
<!-- {% endif %} -->
```bash
zypper install icingadb-redis
```
<!-- {% endif %} -->
#### Run Icinga DB Redis <a id="run-icinga-db-redis"></a>
The `icingadb-redis` package automatically installs the necessary systemd unit files to run Icinga DB Redis.
Please run the following command to enable and start its service:
```bash
systemctl enable --now icingadb-redis
```
#### Enable Remote Redis Connections <a id="enable-remote-redis-connections"></a>
By default, `icingadb-redis` only listens on `127.0.0.1`. If Icinga Web or Icinga 2 is running on another node,
remote access to the Redis server must be allowed. This requires the following directives to be set in
the `/etc/icingadb-redis/icingadb-redis.conf` configuration file:
* Set `protected-mode` to `no`, i.e. `protected-mode no`
* Set `bind` to the desired binding interface or bind all interfaces, e.g. `bind 0.0.0.0`
!!! warning
By default, Redis has no authentication preventing others from accessing it.
When opening Redis to an external interface, make sure to set a password, set up appropriate firewall rules,
or configure TLS with certificate authentication on Redis and its consumers,
i.e. Icinga 2, Icinga DB and Icinga Web.
Restart Icinga DB Redis for these changes to take effect:
```bash
systemctl restart icingadb-redis
```
### Enable Icinga DB Feature <a id="enable-icinga-db-feature"></a>
With the [Icinga DB feature](14-features.md#icinga-db) enabled,
Icinga 2 publishes all of its monitoring data to the Redis server. This includes configuration and
its runtime updates via the Icinga 2 API, check results, state changes, downtimes, acknowledgments, notifications and
other events such as flapping.
![Icinga DB Icinga 2](images/icingadb/icingadb-icinga2.png)
Icinga 2 installs the feature configuration file to `/etc/icinga2/features-available/icingadb.conf`,
pre-configured for a local setup.
Update this file in case Redis is running on a different host or to set credentials.
All available settings are explained in the [Icinga DB object](09-object-types.md#icingadb) chapter.
!!! important
For single-node and high-availability setups, please read the note about the
[environment ID](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db/latest/doc/05-Distributed-Setups/#environment-id),
which is common to all Icinga DB components and generated by the Icinga DB feature.
To enable the `icingadb` feature use the following command:
```bash
icinga2 feature enable icingadb
```
Restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect:
```bash
systemctl restart icinga2
```
### Install Icinga DB Daemon <a id="install-icinga-db-daemon"></a>
After installing Icinga 2, setting up a Redis server and enabling the `icingadb` feature,
the Icinga DB daemon that synchronizes monitoring data between the Redis server and a database is now set up.
![Icinga DB Daemon](images/icingadb/icingadb-daemon.png)
!!! tip
Although the Icinga DB daemon can run anywhere in an Icinga environment,
we recommend to install it where the corresponding Icinga 2 node and Redis server is running to
keep latency between the components low.
The Icinga DB daemon package is also included in the Icinga repository, and since it is already set up,
you have completed the instructions here and can proceed to
<!-- {% if amazon_linux %} -->
