Installation

These are the instructions for manual Director installations. You can learn moree about how to automate this in the automation section of this documentation.

Requirements

  • Icinga 2 (>= 2.4.3)
  • Icinga Web 2 (>= 2.2.0)
  • A database, MySQL (>= 5.1) or PostgreSQL (>= 9.1) database (MariaDB and other forks are also fine)
  • php5-curl

Database

Create an empty Icinga Director database

MySQL

mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE director CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
   GRANT ALL ON director.* TO director@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'some-password';"

PostgreSQL

psql -q -c "CREATE DATABASE director WITH ENCODING 'UTF8';"
psql director -q -c "CREATE USER director WITH PASSWORD 'some-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE director TO director;"

Configure Icinga Web 2

In your web frontend please go to System / Configuration / Resources and create a new database resource pointing to your newly created database. Please make sure that you choose utf8 as an encoding.

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. You can examine (and set) the module path(s) in Configuration / General. In a typical environment you'll probably drop the module to /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/director. Please note that the directory name MUST be director and not icingaweb2-module-director or anything else.

Now go to your web frontend, Configuration, Modules, director - and enable the module. Last but not least you have to tell the director module to use this newly created database resource.
