icinga does not support centos 9, and this info is HIDDEN!!!
I advice you to check if is there packages for your OS as it’s a big issue in icinga, nothing moves on there repo since years!!
I wasted 3 weeks trying to setup this project.
As written over in the identical issue https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/issues/10180, I am sorry for your trouble. We are aiming at updating the outdated docs.

yeah, such a big info maybe should be on first page on the official documentation (I’m just saying)
Anyways, I found this Freedom for Icinga (freedom-for-icinga.com) I’ll give it a test.

Hey there,
it’s been a week already now, but I still wanted to reply to this, as it is a matter I don’t want to leave uncommented.
First of all, thanks for pointing out this flaw in our documentation. As @apenning mentioned earlier, we’re already working on improving it so it’s clearer for everyone. You can also follow along in your GitHub issue he linked.
We’ve also taken CentOS 7 and 8 off our support matrix since they’re EOL, so there shouldn’t be any more confusion on that front.
Since this could also just be seen as a way to push you to buy our repo subscription, this would also honestly not be something I would recommend. The RHEL packages might work for some time, but there could be a change in CentOS Stream anytime that makes the packages stop working.
About CentOS Stream, we’ve never had packages for it and, at the moment, don’t have plans to create any.
The build process is complicated due to its rolling release model, and since we want to have packages for all of our products, it would scale up very quickly and we do not have the resources available right now.
We get that this might be frustrating, and we appreciate your understanding here.
On the bright side, open source gives you the flexibility to build your own solutions, and to use what others have created. While this is definitely part of the open source ethos, it’s always good to stay cautious with third party software, be it plugins or packages provided by unknown sources.
A possibility available to you would also be running Icinga and Icinga Web in containers on CentOS Stream.
