icinga

Icinga is a monitoring system checking hosts and services you specify and notifying you when things go wrong and when they recover. It runs on multiple Linux distributions (including Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSuSE) as well as several Unix platforms (including Solaris and HP). The systems to be monitored can be nearly anything connected to a network. What is Icinga?

Installation

Icinga can be installed with the Pakfire web interface or via the console:

pakfire install icinga

Configuration

To configure Icinga, open the client console or terminal and access the IPFire box via SSH.

Add user name and password:

htpasswd -c /etc/icinga/htpasswd.users icingaadmin

Restart apache deamon:

/etc/init.d/apache restart

Usage

Open your browser and enter:

http://<IPFIRE_IP_ADDRESS>:1010</code>

Do not use https -- it won't work!

The username is icingaadmin. The password was created with the htpasswd command.

Click Log In and the Tactical Monitoring Overview will load.
