# Install Icinga2 and Icingaweb2

{{>toc}}

### Installation (Master Node)

Steps are adapted from [this guide](http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/install-icinga2-ubuntu-16-04/).

#### Install Icinga2

```

# Install MySQL if you haven't yet

# These lines for Ubuntu 16.04 only:

apt install software-properties-common

add-apt-repository -y ppa:formorer/icinga

apt update

apt-get install icinga2

apt-get install icinga2-ido-mysql

# These 3 lines for Debian 8 only:

echo 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list

apt-get update

apt-get -t jessie-backports install icinga2

apt-get -t jessie-backports install icinga2-ido-mysql

systemctl enable icinga2.service

systemctl start icinga2.service

apt install nagios-plugins

# nagios-plugins has Samba as a dependency, but you should remove it.

apt remove samba-common samba-libs

icinga2 feature enable ido-mysql

systemctl restart icinga2.service

```

#### Install Icingaweb2

```

# If Ubuntu 16.04, you need to work around this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icingaweb2/+bug/1574250

# FIRST, uncomment the second line in /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/zend-framework.ini

phpenmod zend-framework

systemctl restart apache2.service

# END Ubuntu 16.04 workaround

apt install icingaweb2

```

* Go to http://<your IP>/icingaweb2/setup

### Configuration

-   Run `icinga2 node wizard. `Select "N" to create a master node.

-   Enable the command module to allow issuing commands from Icingaweb2:

    `icinga2 feature enable command`; service icinga2 restart

-   Add an API user for remote checks.  For instance, a user that can

    receive backupninja checks:

    <div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;">

    <div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">

    ``` 

    object ApiUser "backupninja" {

      password = "<redacted>"

      permissions = [

        {

          permission = "actions/process-check-result"

          filter = {{ match("backupninja", service.display_name) }}

        }

      ]

    }

    ```

### Install additional checks

#### Install Plugins

Place the following two scripts in your plugins directory

(`/usr/lib/nagios/plugins`) and ensure they're executable:

-   **check\_drupal** - installs with the Drupal "nagios" plugin, also

    available

    [here](http://cgit.drupalcode.org/nagios/plain/nagios-plugin/check_drupal?id=7da732e2d4943ec5368243f4cd2e33eb02769f23).

-   **check\_civicrm** - There are two scripts - one for Civi 4.6 and

    below, another for 4.7 and up.  4.7 version is available

    [here](https://github.com/PalanteJon/check_civicrm){.external-link},

    4.6 version is

    <span>[here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aghstrategies/com.aghstrategies.civimonitor/master/check_civicrm.php).</span>

-   <span>**check\_domain** - This does a WHOIS lookup to ensure domain

    names aren't about to expire.  Install from

    [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glensc/monitoring-plugin-check_domain/master/check_domain.sh).</span>

-   <span><span>**check\_rbl** - Check spam blacklists.  File is

    [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matteocorti/check_rbl/master/check_rbl), also install dependencies:

    `apt install libreadonly-xs-perl libnagios-plugin-perl libdata-validate-ip-perl libdata-validate-domain-perl libnet-dns-perl`

#### Define CheckCommand and Service objects for the new plugins

Copy the CheckCommand and Service files from

`icinga.jmaconsulting.biz:/etc/icinga2/zones.d/global-templates/CheckCommands`

and `icinga.jmaconsulting.biz:/etc/icinga2/conf.d/services`. See [[Add New Checks to Icinga2]] for details.

### Set up vim syntax highlighting on the Icinga2 server

```

mkdir -p ~/.vim/{syntax,ftdetect}

cd ~/.vim/syntax

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icinga/icinga2/master/tools/syntax/vim/syntax/icinga2.vim

cd ~/.vim/ftdetect

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icinga/icinga2/master/tools/syntax/vim/ftdetect/icinga2.vim

```
