ref/IP/52977 `ts_last_attempt`, which is used in the callback function of `React\EventLoop\LoopInterface::addPeriodicTimer`, had data type timestamp and was saved as UTC time but retrieved as system time, and during DST where the clock is moved forward or set back during DST, you could expect time jumps in the retrieved `ts_last_attempt` value. And the `React\EventLoop\LoopInterface::addPeriodicTimer` expects the time source to be monotonous without any such time jumps. This causes the jobs to be erratically scheduled after DST. And this happens mostly when the `ts_last_attempt` saved time time falls in the skipped or time range that was reset. To avoid such time jumps the `ts_last_attempt` datatype is changed to `BIGINT` and the values are saved as Unix time stamp.
Icinga Director
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.
Read more about Icinga Director in our Introduction section. Afterwards, you should be ready for getting started.
Documentation
Please have a look at our Installation instructions and our hints for how to apply Upgrades. We love automation and in case you also do so, the Automation chapter could be worth a read. When upgrading, you should also have a look at our Changelog.
You could be interested in understanding how the Director works internally. Working with agents is a topic that affects many Icinga administrators. Other interesting entry points might be Import and Synchronization, our CLI interface, the REST API and last but not least our FAQ.
A complete list of all our documentation can be found in the doc directory.

Addons
The following are to be considered community-supported modules, as they are not supported by the Icinga Team. At least not yet. But please give them a try if they fit your needs. They are being used in productive environments:
- AWS - Amazon Web Services: provides an Import Source for Autoscaling Groups on AWS
- File-Shipper: allows Director to ship additional config files with manual config with its deployments
- PuppetDB: provides an Import Source dealing with your PuppetDB
- vSphere: VMware vSphere Import Source for Virtual Machines and Host Systems
