  class { 'icingaweb2':
    install_method => 'package',
  }
}

Install method: Git

node /box/ {
  class { 'icingaweb2':
    install_method => 'git',
  }
}

Initialize db

Default Credentials will be icingaadmin:icinga

    initialize => true,
  }
}

Manage repository

    manage_repo    => true,
    install_method => 'package',
  }
}

Monitoring module

node /box/ {
  class {
    'icingaweb2':;
    'icingaweb2::mod::monitoring':;
  }
}

Business process module

node /box/ {
  class {
    'icingaweb2':;
    'icingaweb2::mod::businessprocess':;
  }
}

Deployment module

node /box/ {
  class {
    'icingaweb2':;
    'icingaweb2::mod::deployment':
      auth_token => 'secret_token';
  }
}

Graphite module

node /box/ {
  class {
    'icingaweb2':;
    'icingaweb2::mod::graphite':
      graphite_base_url => 'http://graphite.com/render?';
  }
}

NagVis module

  class {
    'icingaweb2':;
    'icingaweb2::mod::nagvis':
      nagvis_url => 'http://example.org/nagvis/';
  }
}

Real world example

Icinga2 is installed or on another host. One needs only the ido data to configure icingaweb2. This could be a profile class to include icingaweb2 in a architecture with roles and profiles.

class profile::icingaweb2(){
  $ido_db_name = hiera('icinga2::ido::name', 'icinga2')
  $ido_db_user = hiera('icinga2::ido::user', 'icinga2')
  $ido_db_pass = hiera('icinga2::ido::password', 'icinga2')
  $web_db_name = hiera('icingaweb2::db::name', 'icingaweb2')
  $web_db_user = hiera('icingaweb2::db::user', 'icingaweb2')
  $web_db_pass = hiera('icingaweb2::db::password', 'icingaweb2')

  contain '::mysql::server'
  contain '::mysql::client'
  contain '::mysql::server::account_security'

  contain '::apache'
  contain '::apache::mod::php'

  Exec { path => [ '/bin/', '/sbin/' , '/usr/bin/', '/usr/sbin/' ] }

  ::mysql::db { $web_db_name:
    user     => $web_db_user,
    password => $web_db_pass,
    host     => 'localhost',
    grant    => ['ALL'],
  }

  class { '::icingaweb2':
    initialize          => true,
    install_method      => 'package',
    manage_apache_vhost => true,
    ido_db_name         => $ido_db_name,
    ido_db_pass         => $ido_db_pass,
    ido_db_user         => $ido_db_user,
    web_db_name         => $web_db_name,
    web_db_pass         => $web_db_pass,
    web_db_user         => $web_db_user,
    require             => Class['::mysql::server'],
  } ->

  augeas { 'php.ini':
    context => '/files/etc/php.ini/PHP',
    changes => ['set date.timezone Europe/Berlin',],
  }

  contain ::icingaweb2::mod::monitoring
}
