The documentation is based on an installation from source having everything below /usr/local/icinga (default prefix). The packagers have put the files in several directories according to the file layout of the appropriate distribution.

Betreff: [icinga-users] Documentation confusion
Hola,
 
I installed Icingia-web via packages ppa for Ubuntu Precise.
 
I am working through the documentation, but it doesn't match what I'm seeing on my server. Any help/explanation would be appreciated.
 
Two examples:
 
1. Because I'm running icinga-web I presume I'm using ido2db. So I read this page:
 
Which claims that :
 

What You'll End Up With

If you follow these instructions, here's what you'll end up with:

  • Icinga and the plugins will be installed underneath /usr/local/icinga

  • Icinga will be configured to monitor a few aspects of your local system (CPU load, disk usage, etc.)

  • The Icinga classic web interface will be accessible at http://localhost/icinga/ or http://yourdomain.com/icinga

  • A database which is filled by Icinga using IDOUtils

     

I have Icinga-web running, but there is no local system monitoring happening. I read thoroughly through the page, but I don't see any conf that resembles an initial set up that might monitor the localhost.
 
2. Thinking that a minor oversight, I move onto monitoring. On this page
 
I am told to edit
 
 #> vi /usr/local/icinga/etc/icinga.cfg
 
which on my machine is /etc/icinga/icinga.cfg (because of package install rather than self compiled install)
 
and uncomment
 
#cfg_file=/usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/windows.cfg

Which isn't in the cfg file.
 
I look, and sure enough, there isn't even a windows.cfg file anyway (so uncommenting wouldn't have helped, and nor would adding the line in).
 
I note that the docs say they are the latest, it looks like sphinx style docs, so maybe they are coming from the repo.
 
So I replace latest with 1.9:
 
 
But they say the same thing.
 
Now I'm just confused.
 
What have I done wrong?
 
cheers
L.
