Manual Setup

Internal DB Setup

Decide whether to use MySQL or PostgreSQL.

MySQL

mysql -u root -p
    CREATE USER `icingaweb`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED BY 'icingaweb';
    CREATE DATABASE `icingaweb`;
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `icingaweb`.* TO `icingaweb`@`localhost`;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    quit

mysql -u root -p icingaweb < /usr/share/doc/icingaweb2*/schema/mysql.schema..sql

PostgreSQL

sudo su postgres
psql
postgres=#  CREATE USER icingaweb WITH PASSWORD 'icingaweb';
postgres=#  CREATE DATABASE icingaweb;
postgres=#  \q

Add the icingaweb user for trusted authentication to your pg_hba.conf file in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf and restart the PostgreSQL server.

local   icingaweb      icingaweb                            trust
host    icingaweb      icingaweb      127.0.0.1/32          trust
host    icingaweb      icingaweb      ::1/128               trust

Now install the icingaweb schema

bash$  psql -U icingaweb -a -f /usr/share/doc/icingaweb2*/schema/pgsql.schema.sql

Configuration

Module Configuration

The monitoring module is enabled by default.

Backend configuration

/etc/icingaweb2/resources.ini contains the database backend information. By default the Icinga 2 DB IDO is used by the monitoring module in /etc/icingaweb2/modules/monitoring/backends.ini

The external command pipe is required for sending commands and configured for Icinga 2 in /etc/icingaweb2/modules/monitoring/commandtransports.ini

Authentication configuration

The /etc/icingaweb2/authentication.ini file uses the internal database as default. This requires the database being installed properly before allowing users to login via web console.

Default User

When not using the default setup wizard, you can generate a secure password hash with openssl and insert that manually like so:

openssl passwd -1 "yoursecurepassword"

mysql -uicingaweb -p icingaweb

mysql> INSERT INTO icingaweb_user (name, active, password_hash) VALUES ('icingaadmin', 1, '$yoursecurepassword_hash');
