Icinga DB web has a better layout and is more user friendly. This makes monitoring more simple. Hence it would be nice if we could adapt all the Icinga modules to Icinga DB. In this blogpost, I will discuss how to adapt Icinga Web modules to Icinga DB. To do this, first and foremost, install and enable the Icinga DB module. Currently, monitoring backend is the default backend for all the modules.
This release of Icinga Director includes a bunch of new options to make your daily monitoring business easier and more comfortable. It includes many fixes as well as some new features for Sync Rules, Configuration Baskets and Permissions. Check out the Changelog for a detailed list about all changes. You can get started with Icinga Director by just adding the module to your Icinga installation: Follow the installation guide.
In today’s blog post, I want to present something related to Icinga DB that you most likely will not come in touch with as a regular user: some of the test cases we built for Icinga DB and the tooling created to support them.
We are pleased to announce the general availability of Icinga installation packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Amazon Linux 2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We extend the list of supported operating systems to give you even more options where you can run Icinga. At the same time we respond to changes and requirements by operating system vendors.
Most of you know that Icinga Web can be adjusted by themes. Some of you also have made some! Icinga Web itself comes with several themes since the early days. Now with the next upcoming major update v2.10 we’ll take themes to their next evolution. But since we’ve postponed this feature, much additional work has gone into it, which I want to outline today. There will be some general hints for module/theme development as well.
Today we are happy to announce that after month of work we finally can release Icinga for Windows v1.8.0. As discussed in our live Icinga for Windows Q&A on our YouTube-Channel, we spent lots of time resolving issues reported by our community and customers and in general improved the performance as well.
It’s soon two years since I’ve introduced you to Icinga L10n. There I’ve talked about a place on-line to ease collaboration. So, without further ado, let me introduce you to translate.icinga.com! We’re using Weblate on there and hope that interested users may already be familiar with it. The basic tools are easy to grasp though. And even if not, it has an extensive user documentation.
