Welcome to the Icinga Director, the bleeding edge configuration tool for
|
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2! Developed as an Icinga Web 2 module it aims to be your new
|
|
|
|
|
favorite Icinga config deployment tool. Even if you prefer plain text
|
|
|
|
|
files and manual configuration, chances are good that the Director will
|
|
|
|
|
change your mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Director is here to make your life easier. As a Icinga 2 pro you know
|
|
|
|
|
all the knobs an tricks Icinga2 provides. However, you are not willing
|
|
|
|
|
to do the same work again and again. Someone wants to add a new server,
|
|
|
|
|
tweak some thresholds, adjust notifications? They shouldn't need to
|
|
|
|
|
bother you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No way, you might think. You do not trust your users, they might break
|
|
|
|
|
things. Well... no. Not with the Director. It provides an audit log that
|
|
|
|
|
shows any single change. You can re-deploy old configurations at any time.
|
|
|
|
|
And you will be allowed to restrict what your users are allowed to do in
|
|
|
|
|
a very granular way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doing automation? Want to feed your monitoring from your configuration
|
|
|
|
|
management tool, or from your CMDB? You'll love the endless possibilities
|
|
|
|
|
Director provides.

It will help you to deploy your configuration, regardless of whether you

|
|
|
|
are using a single node Icinga installation or a distributed setup with
|
|
|
|
|
multiple masters and satellites.
