Icinga Director
===============
This is going to be the new Icinga 2 config tool. Not for productional use. YET.
Icinga Director has been designed to make Icinga 2 configuration handling easy.
It tries to target two main audiences:
* Users with the desire to completely automate their datacenter
* Sysops willing to grant their "point & click" users a lot of flexibility
What makes Icinga Director so special is the fact that it tries to target both
of them at once.
Requirements
============
* Icinga 2 (>= 2.4.0)
* Icinga Web 2 (>= 2.1.0)
* MySQL or PostgreSQL database
* PostgreSQL: the schema is lacking behind right now, we'll fix this soon. If you want to start testing Director today please use MySQL
Installation

Configure Icinga Web 2
----------------------
As with any Icinga Web 2 module, installation is pretty straight-forward. In
case you're installing it from source all you have to do is to drop the director
module in one of your module paths. Then go to your web frontend, Configuration,
Modules, director - and enable the module.
In your web frontend please go to System / Configuration / Resources and create
a new database resource pointing to your newly created database. Last but not
least you have to tell the director module to use this newly created database
