Icinga
Installed on Helena from Debian packages. Simply selecting the metapackage icinga gave me everything I needed.
Used the Bedazzled password.
I'd like to export the config from one of the existing Nagios servers and import it here. https://bigdog.alembic.net/nagios/ Ron sent me the files yesterday. Lots of conversion to do, I fear.
I decided to go up to the latest Icinga 2.0 stable release instead of starting with the Debian Wheezy default which is at 1.7.
wget -O - http://packages.icinga.org/icinga.key | apt-key add - cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/icinga2.list <<EOF deb http://packages.icinga.org/debian icinga-wheezy main deb-src http://packages.icinga.org/debian icinga-wheezy main EOF apt-get upgrade apt-get update apt-get install icinga2
Had to change the port that postgresql 9.3 was listening on -- apparently they put it on port 5433 to allow 9.1 and 9.3 to run at the same time.
I wonder if I should try the icinga web 2 user interface... last update in Git was 3 minutes ago... methinks not. Learn released version first, update later. Doing this
apt-get install icinga-web
installs a boatload of dependencies, including 1.7 icinga, which is not really what I want. Since I already walked through instructions on setting up a database, I told the package installer not to do it again.
update-rc.d icinga disable
