Package: nagvis Version: 1.7.10+dfsg1-3 When the configure backend prompt appears after installing nagivs, there is no option to configure it to use Icinga2 as a backend and the user is forced to select "other" and then configure the backend manually.
The fix is to add the path to icinga2's livestatus socket as an option: name: icinga2 path: /var/run/icinga2/cmd/livestatus I'm using Debian Jessie 8.1, 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux with icinga2 package from debmon: icinga2_2.3.4-3~debmon80+1_amd64
