Allow me to ask again some questions, something is not clear enough for me!

So, the icinga's config (means: hosts, switches, etc...) are in files *.cfg and all the check results goes into the DB icinga (IDOutils).

Now with icinga-web: from where take icinga-web the information (config from hosts, switches, etc...) and where it put the check results? Is the same DB? Which are the relation between icinga and icinga-web? Do icinga-web receive config's file automaticaly from icinga?


consider this as the archicture i'm referring to http://www.icinga.org/about/nagios/architecture/

* core reads cfgs during startup
* core pumps configs through idomod into ido2db and then the idoutils db schema (default 'icinga') * core pumps status data and check results (historical data) also into idoutils db * icinga-web takes idoutils db as datasource (check icinga.io.xml for credentials) * icinga-web reads the configs, the status data and several historical tables from idoutils db * icinga-web needs it's own database in order to store: user credentials, persistent views, cronks, etc

So, many questions and much headaches,


not that much. development is more headache sometimes. and right on it's testing time for 1.3 - so if you have a test box available, please help us :)

kind regards,
michael

Thanks for your reply. I've a little bit experience with icinga (normal) but nothing about icinga-web. So, yesterday I've installed icinga (normal) in one DB icinga and icinga-web into DB icinga-web. Do you mean that it is better to run both into one DB? Or another question: it is possible to run both parallel with the same configurations? Could you please tell me, how to put both in one DB?


just fire up your rdbms shell, e.g. mysql and then create the databases and import the schemas into the databases, like described in the docs. if it's just one schema, you'll need to create one database (e.g. icinga) and apply both schemas to that. but as said, this could cause problems and is not recommended from my side. and having to dbs within a mysql daemon shouldn't harm your system anyways.

Hi Michael,

Thanks you for your answer....


you're welcome. and one more thought - i don't know your setup, but when it comes to a distributed setup in the future (more monitoring masters), you might encounter the setup being changed (a central database host, another host with icinga-web on it, and one with icinga-mobile) and removing the rdbms from the monitoring host itsself. this will be a lot easier when just dumping one single database, and moving it to a new location then. or when it comes to mind to keep mysql as icinga-web config database, and change idoutils db from mysql to pgsql. or something else ;-)

kind regards,
michael

Hi,

I've installedicinga with IDOutils and it seems working... Now I want to test the icinga-web. In the documentation, it is written that we must to configure DBfor this application. My question is: Use icinga-web the same DB as IDOutils or should I create I another one DBspecial for icinga-web?


for upgrading purposes on either idoutils or icinga-web i would recommend creating 2 databases, applying the upgrade db schema only onto one of them. this can als be of interest when removing one of them from the current host. or when it comes to backup plans.

kind regards,
michael




Thanks in advance for your help
