Icinga2 on FreeBSD 10 using Icinga Web 2 - Newbie

[Glenn]

Good Day All! I am new to Icinga2 but am trying to get it running on
FreeBSD 10. I have successfully installed it from the ports
collection. The daemon is running.

Alas, I am attempting to configure a UI for it. I would like to jump in
and use the Icinga Web 2 interface. I have installed MySQL via the
ports collection. I am not sure how to install the IDOUtils.

I have found several sets of instructions but I believe they are for
Icinga 1, not Icinga 2. These include:
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/icinga-web-scratch.html ,
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/quickstart-idoutils-freebsd.html and
http://phaq.phunsites.net/2012/01/28/install-icinga-with-mysql-and-idoutils-on-freebsd/
.

Can anyone help me get this configuration working?

Thank You for any insight and assistance!!!

Yes you should read the docs for Icinga 2:
http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/getting-started#configuring-db-ido-mysql

ido-mysql is a feature of Icinga 2

In terms of Icingaweb2 all you need is to configure the proper database
connection as IDO resource, and enable that.

resources.ini - or via web
module/monitoring/backends.ini - or via module web config

Cheers

I'm using Icinga2 (net-mgmt/icinga2) on FreeBSD 10 with the old-style
web interface from the net-mgmt/icinga port. As I understood it, the
new Icinga-web interface was not available on FreeBSD yet, although I
don't recall why. It might just not have been ported yet.

That is because icingaweb2 is not yet released and under heavy
development. Though you are free to test it if you like.

We appreciate feedback.
