Installation

configure && make

Basic installation

If you like to configurea and install icinga2-web from the command line or if you want to create packages, configure and make is the best choice for installation.

./configure && make install && make install-apache2-config will install the application to the default target (/usr/local/icinga2-web). Also an apache configuration entry is added to your apache server, so you should restart your web server according to your systems configuration.

Installation directory

If you want to install the application to a different directory, use the --prefix flag in your configure call: ./configure --prefix=/my/target/directory

Authentication

By default, icinga2-web will be installed to authenticate againts its internal database, but you can configure it to use ldap-authentication by adding the --with-ldap-authentication flag. You must provide the authentication details for your ldap server by using the --with-ldap-* flags. To see a full list of the flags, call ./configure --help

Icinga backend

The default option for icinga2web is to configure all icinga backends with the default settings (for example /usr/local/icinga/ as the icinga directory) but only enable statusdat. To use a different backend, call --with-icinga-backend= and provide ido, livestatus or statusdat as an option. To further configure your backend, take a look at the various options described in ./configure --help

Databases

It is required to set up all used Databases correctly, which basically means to create all needed user accounts and to create all database tables. You will find the installation guides for the different databases in the sections below:

IMPORTANT: Select a secure password instead of "icinga" and alter the config/authentication.ini accordingly.

MySQL

Create the user and the database

mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE USER icingaweb@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'icinga'; mysql> CREATE DATABASE icingaweb; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icingaweb.* TO icingaweb@localhost; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; mysql> quit
Create all tables (You need to be in the icinga2-web folder)

bash$ mysql -u root -p icingaweb < etc/schema/users.mysql.sql

PostgreSQL

Create the user and the database

sudo su postgres psql postgres=# CREATE USER icingaweb WITH PASSWORD 'icinga'; postgres=# CREATE DATABASE icingaweb; postgres=# \q
Enable trust authentication on localhost

Add the following lines to your pg_hba.conf (etc/postgresql/X.x/main/pg_hba.conf under debian, /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf for Redhat/Fedora) to enable trust authentication for the icingaweb user when connecting from the localhost.

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

And restart your database ('service postgresql restart' or '/etc/init.d/postgresql-X.x reload' while being root)

Create all tables (You need to be in the icinga2-web folder)

bash$ psql -U icingaweb -a -f etc/schema/users.pgsql.sql
