Overview

Icinga Web 2 is the associated web interface for the open source monitoring tool Icinga 2. This module helps with installing and managing configuration of Icinga Web 2 and its modules on multiple operating systems.

Description

This module installs and configures Icinga Web 2 on your Linux host by using the official packages from packages.icinga.com. Dependend packages are installed as they are defined in the Icinga Web 2 package.

This module can manage all configurations files of Icinga Web 2 and import an initial database schema. It can install and manage all official modules as well as modules developed by the community.

Usage

Install Icinga Web 2

The default class icingaweb2 installs a basic installation of Icinga Web 2 by using the systems package manager. It is recommended to use the official Icinga repository for the installation.

Use the manage_repo parameter to configure the official packages.icinga.com repository.

class { '::icingaweb2':
  manage_repo => true,
}

Info: If you are using the Icinga 2 Puppet module on the same server, make sure to disable the repository management for one of the modules!

If you want to manage the version of Icinga Web 2, you have to disable the package management of this module and handle packages in your own Puppet code.

package { 'icingaweb2':
  ensure => latest,
}

class { '::icingaweb2':
  manage_package => false,
}

Be careful with this option: Setting manage_package to false also means that this module will not install any dependent packages of modules.

Use the monitoring class to connect the web interface to Icinga 2.

This module does not provide functionality to install and configure any web server, see the following examples how to install Icinga Web 2 with differen web servers:

Apache2
Nginx

Manage Resources

Icinga Web 2 resources are managed with the icingaweb2::config::resource defined type. Supported resource types are db and ldap. Resources are used for the internal authentication mechanism and by modules. Depending on the type of resource you are managing, different parameters may be required.

Create a db resource:

icingaweb2::config::resource{'my-sql':
  type        => 'db',
  db_type     => 'mysql',
  host        => 'localhost',
  port        => '3306',
  db_name     => 'icingaweb2',
  db_username => 'root',
  db_password => 'supersecret',
}

Create a ldap resource:

icingaweb2::config::resource{'my-ldap':
  type         => 'ldap',
  host         => 'localhost',
  port         => 389,
  ldap_root_dn => 'dc=users,dc=icinga,dc=com',
  ldap_bind_dn => 'cn=root,dc=users,dc=icinga,dc=com',
  ldap_bind_pw => 'supersecret',
}

Manage Authentication Methods

Authentication methods are created with the icingaweb2::config:authmethod defined type. Various authentication methods are supported: db, ldap, msldap and external. Auth methods can be chained with the order parameter.

Create a MySQL authmethod:

icingaweb2::config::authmethod{'my-sql':
  backend  => 'db',
  resource => 'my-sql',
  order    => '01',
}

Create a LDAP authmethod:

icingaweb2::config::authmethod {'ldap-auth':
  backend                  => 'ldap',
  resource                 => 'my-ldap',
  ldap_user_class          => 'myObjectClass',
  ldap_filter              => '(icingaaccess=true))',
  ldap_user_name_attribute => 'uid',
  order                    => '02',
}

DB Schema and Default User

You can choose to import the database schema for MySQL or PostgreSQL. If you set import_schema to true the module import the corresponding schema for your db_type. Additionally a resource, an authentication method and a role will be generated.

The module does not support the creation of databases, we encourage you to use either the puppetlabs/mysql or the puppetlabs/puppetlabs-postgresql module.

💡 Default credentials are: User: icingaadmin Password: icinga

MySQL

Use MySQL as backend for user authentication in Icinga Web 2:

include ::mysql::server

mysql::db { 'icingaweb2':
  user     => 'icingaweb2',
  password => 'icingaweb2',
  host     => 'localhost',
  grant    => ['SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE', 'DROP', 'CREATE VIEW', 'CREATE', 'INDEX', 'EXECUTE', 'ALTER', 'REFERENCES'],
}

class {'icingaweb2':
  manage_repo   => true,
  import_schema => true,
  db_type       => 'mysql',
  db_host       => 'localhost',
  db_port       => 3306,
  db_username   => 'icingaweb2',
  db_password   => 'icingaweb2',
  require       => Mysql::Db['icingaweb2'],
}

PostgreSQL

Use PostgreSQL as backend for user authentication in Icinga Web 2:

include ::postgresql::server

postgresql::server::db { 'icingaweb2':
  user     => 'icingaweb2',
  password => postgresql_password('icingaweb2', 'icingaweb2'),
}

class {'icingaweb2':
  manage_repo   => true,
  import_schema => true,
  db_type       => 'pgsql',
  db_host       => 'localhost',
  db_port       => '5432',
  db_username   => 'icingaweb2',
  db_password   => 'icingaweb2',
  require       => Postgresql::Server::Db['icingaweb2'],
}

Manage Roles

Roles are a set of permissions applied to users and groups. With filters you can limit the access to certain objects only. Each module can add its own permissions, so it's hard to create a list of all available permissions. The following permissions are included when the monitoring module is enabled:

Description	Value
Allow everything	`*`
Allow to share navigation items	`application/share/navigation`
Allow to adjust in the preferences whether to show stacktraces	`application/stacktraces`
Allow to view the application log	`application/log`
Grant admin permissions, e.g. manage announcements	`admin`
Allow config access	`config/*`
Allow access to module doc	`module/doc`
Allow access to module monitoring	`module/monitoring`
Allow all commands	`monitoring/command/*`
Allow scheduling host and service checks	`monitoring/command/schedule-check`
Allow acknowledging host and service problems	`monitoring/command/acknowledge-problem`
Allow removing problem acknowledgements	`monitoring/command/remove-acknowledgement`
Allow adding and deleting host and service comments	`monitoring/command/comment/*`
Allow commenting on hosts and services	`monitoring/command/comment/add`
Allow deleting host and service comments	`monitoring/command/comment/delete`
Allow scheduling and deleting host and service downtimes	`monitoring/command/downtime/*`
Allow scheduling host and service downtimes	`monitoring/command/downtime/schedule`
Allow deleting host and service downtimes	`monitoring/command/downtime/delete`
Allow processing host and service check results	`monitoring/command/process-check-result`
Allow processing commands for toggling features on an instance-wide basis	`monitoring/command/feature/instance`
Allow processing commands for toggling features on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/*`)
Allow processing commands for toggling active checks on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/active-checks`
Allow processing commands for toggling passive checks on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/passive-checks`
Allow processing commands for toggling notifications on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/notifications`
Allow processing commands for toggling event handlers on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/event-handler`
Allow processing commands for toggling flap detection on host and service objects	`monitoring/command/feature/object/flap-detection`
Allow sending custom notifications for hosts and services	`monitoring/command/send-custom-notification`
Allow access to module setup	`module/setup`
Allow access to module test	`module/test`
Allow access to module translation	`module/translation`

With the monitoring module, possible filters are:

application/share/users
application/share/groups
monitoring/filter/objects
monitoring/blacklist/properties

Create role that allows a user to see only hosts beginning with linux-*:

icingaweb2::config::role{'linux-user':
  users       => 'bob, pete',
  permissions => '*',
  filters     => {
    'monitoring/filter/objects' => 'host_name=linux-*',
  }
}

Manage Group Backends

Group backends store information about available groups and their members. Valid backends are db, ldap or msldap. Groups backends can be combined with authentication methods. For example, users can be stored in a database, but group definitions in LDAP. If a user is member of multiple groups, he inherits permissions of all his groups.

Create an LDAP group backend:

icingaweb2::config::groupbackend {'ldap-backend':
  backend                     => 'ldap',
  resource                    => 'my-ldap',
  ldap_group_class            => 'groupofnames',
  ldap_group_name_attribute   => 'cn',
  ldap_group_member_attribute => 'member',
  ldap_base_dn                => 'ou=groups,dc=icinga,dc=com'
}

If you have imported the database schema (parameter import_schema), you can use this database as group backend:

icingaweb2::config::groupbackend {'mysql-backend':
  backend  => 'db',
  resource => 'mysql-icingaweb2',
}

Install and Manage Modules

Monitoring

This module is mandatory for almost every setup. It connects your Icinga Web interface to the Icinga 2 core. Current and history information are queried through the IDO database. Actions such as Check Now, Set Downtime or Acknowledge are send to the Icinga 2 API.

Requirements:

IDO feature in Icinga 2 (MySQL or PostgreSQL)
ApiUser object in Icinga 2 with proper permissions

Example:

class {'icingaweb2::module::monitoring':
  ido_host        => 'localhost',
  ido_db_name     => 'icinga2',
  ido_db_username => 'icinga2',
  ido_db_password => 'supersecret',
  commandtransports => {
    icinga2 => {
      transport => 'api',
      username  => 'root',
      password  => 'icinga',
    }
  }
}

Monitoring module documentation

Director

The Director is used to manage Icinga 2 configuration through the web interface Icinga Web 2. The module requires its database. The module is installed by cloning the git repository, therefore you need to set git_revision to either a git branch or tag, eg. master or v1.3.2.

The Director has some dependencies that you have to fulfill manually currently:

Icinga 2 (>= 2.6.0)
Icinga Web 2 (>= 2.4.1)
A MySQL or PostgreSQL database
PHP (>= 5.4)
php-curl

Example:

class {'icingaweb2::module::director':
  git_revision  => 'v1.3.2',
  db_host       => 'localhost',
  db_name       => 'director',
  db_username   => 'director',
  db_password   => 'director',
  import_schema => true,
  kickstart     => true,
  endpoint      => 'puppet-icingaweb2.localdomain',
  api_username  => 'root',
  api_password  => 'icinga',
  require       => Mysql::Db['director']
}

Director module documentation

To run the kickstart mechanism, it's required to set import_schema to true.

Doc

The doc module provides an interface to the Icinga 2 and Icinga Web 2 documentation.

Example:

include ::icingaweb2::module::doc

To disable:

class {'::icingaweb2::module::doc':
  ensure => absent
}

Doc module documentation

PuppetDB

You can configure Director to query one or more PuppetDB servers.

Example: Set up the PuppetDB module and configure two custom SSL keys

$certificates = {'pupdb1' => {
                   :ssl_key => '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- abc...',
                   :ssl_cacert => '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- def...', },
                 'pupdb2' => {
                   :ssl_key => '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- zyx...',
                   :ssl_cacert => '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- wvur...', },
                }

class {'::icingaweb2::module::puppetdb':
  git_revision => 'master',
  ssl          => 'none',
  certificates => $certificates,
}

Example: Set up the PuppetDB module and configure the hosts SSL key to connect to the PuppetDB host

class {'::icingaweb2::module::puppetdb':
  git_revision => 'master',
  ssl          => 'puppet',
  host         => 'puppetdb.example.com',
}

PuppetDB module documentation

Business Process

The Business Process module allows you to visualize and monitor business processes based on hosts and services monitored by Icinga 2. The module is installed by cloning the git repository, therefore you need to set git_revision to either a git branch or tag, eg. master or v2.1.0.

This module has the following dependecies:

Icinga Web 2 (>= 2.4.1)
PHP (>= 5.3 or 7.x)

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::businessprocess':
  git_revision => 'v2.1.0'
}

Business Process mdoule documentation

Cube

The Cube module is like a extended filtering tool. It visualizes host statistics (count and health state) grouped by various custom variables in multiple dimensions. The module is installed by cloning the git repository, therefore you need to set git_revision to either a git branch or tag, eg. master or v1.0.0.

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::cube':
  git_revision => 'v1.0.0'
}

GenericTTS

The GenericTTS module matches ticket pattern and replaces them with a link to your ticketsystem. The module is installed by cloning the git repository, therefore you need to set git_revision to either a git branch or tag, eg. master or v2.0.0.

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::generictts':
  git_revision  => 'v2.0.0',
  ticketsystems => {
    'my-ticket-system' => {
      pattern => '/#([0-9]{4,6})/',
      url     => 'https://my.ticket.system/tickets/id=$1',
    },
  },
}

Fileshipper

The main purpose of this module is to extend Icinga Director using some of it's exported hooks. Based on them it offers an Import Source able to deal with CSV, JSON, YAML and XML files. It also offers the possibility to deploy hand-crafted Icinga 2 config files through the Icinga Director.

The fileshipper module has some optional requirements:

php-xml for optional XML file support
php-yaml for optional YAML file support

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::fileshipper':
  git_revision => 'v1.0.1',
  base_directories => {
    temp => '/tmp'
  },
  directories      => {
    'test' => {
      'source'     => '/tmp/source',
      'target'     => '/tmp/target',
    }
  }
}

Fileshipper module documentation

vSphere

This module extends the Director module. It allows you to have an automated import of virtual maschines and physical hosts from vSphere.

The module needs some extra PHP extensions that you need to install:

php-posix
php-soap

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::vsphere':
  git_revision => 'v1.1.0',
}

vSphere module documentation

Graphite

This module integrates an existing Graphite installation in your Icinga Web 2 frontend.

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::graphite':
  git_revision => 'v0.9.0',
  url          => 'https://localhost:8080'
}

Graphite module documentation

Elasticsearch

The Elasticsearch module displays events from data stored in Elasticsearch.

Example:

class { 'icingaweb2::module::elasticsearch':
  git_revision => 'v0.9.0',
  instances    => {
    'elastic'  => {
      uri      => 'http://localhost:9200',
      user     => 'foo',
      password => 'bar',
    }
  },
  eventtypes   => {
    'filebeat' => {
      instance => 'elastic',
      index    => 'filebeat-*',
      filter   => 'beat.hostname={host.name}',
      fields   => 'input_type, source, message',
    }
