Icinga Web 2

I started with a fresh install of Icinga2 last month on a Ubunut 20.04 LTS (Azure didn’t have 22.04 yet). Ran the setup wizard per the documentation.

$ dpkg --list | grep icinga

Using MariaDB 10.3.34 on the same host.

I see lots of references to /monitoring/… such as:
https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web/latest/modules/monitoring/doc/11-Add-Columns-List-Views/

If I try the url
https://MY_HOSTNAME/monitoring/list/hosts?addColumns=host_address

I get the error message:
Page not found. Enabling the “monitoring” module might help!

When I ran the wizard, it had me set up IcingaDB instead of Monitoring.

Looking through the code >>>>

/usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/icingadb/library/Icingadb/Compat/UrlMigrator.php

it looks like it’s supposed to catch those /monitoring/ links.

From what I’ve read, you don’t need the monitoring module enabled if icingadb is enabled.

How do I enable the compatibility mode, or whatever activates that UrlMigrator class?

Thanks!

Don’t complicate things too much :joy:

Maybe take a look at the proper documentation?

By enabling the monitoring module. But if you didn’t use Icinga before or if you don’t have the IDO backend still enabled, this will be of no use.

Thanks Johannes.

I missed that nugget of documentation and it helped a little.
Now I know that “addColumns” became “columns”

I certainly know how to RTFM, however the documentation is vast and it’s easy to get lost as you jump from component to component. Hence why I was grep’ing through source to find a clue.
