I cannot make icingadb work in a new environment and need some help. I do not have any experience with icingadb, have been using IDO until now.
Main issue:
The message above in red indicates that there is some communication error with Redis, since Icinga2 is talking to Redis only and IcingaWeb2 is talking to Redis and MariaDB (Right?).
Redis and Mariadb are talking to IcingaDB, Icinga2 and IcingaWeb2 are not, right?)
Goal is to have as much services as possible running in containers. We are on RHEL 8 and therefore using rootless Podman. I was following this information:
Docker IcingaDB
and
I interpret this information as:
Icinga2 (icingadb feature) → Redis
IcingaWeb2 (icingadb module) → Redis
I set up the following containers:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
d906725fab1d localhost/influxdb:1.8 influxd 3 days ago Up 27 hours ago 0.0.0.0:8086->8086/tcp influxdb

776f4f0ebd63 localhost/redis:7.0.5 redis-server 24 hours ago Up 23 hours ago 0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp icinga-redis
596c28da2aa0 localhost/icinga/icingadb:1.0.0 /entrypoint 23 hours ago Up 23 hours ago icingadb
84d0d21d3d5f localhost/mariadb:10.9.3 mariadbd 18 hours ago Up 18 hours ago 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp mariadb-icingadb
So, that means:
Icinga2: local install (eventhandlers, scripts etc)
IcingaWeb2: Container
IcingaDB: Container
Mariadb for IcingaDB: Container
Redis: Container
To investigate communication to Redis, I checked logs:
Icinga2 Log:
information/IcingaDB: 'icingadb' started.
information/IcingaDB: Trying to connect to Redis server (async) on host 'localhost:6379'
information/IcingaDB: Connected to Redis server
IcingaWeb2 (where to find a good log?)
IcingaDB Container Log

2023-01-06T11:04:53.942Z INFO icingadb Waiting for Icinga 2 to write into Redis, please make sure you have started Icinga 2 and the Icinga DB feature is enabled
So, that tells me that both Icinga2 and IcingaWeb2 are connecting to Redis. Right? Is there anything else to install for IcingaDB next to Icinga2 on that host?
- Icinga DB Web version (System - About): I do not understand. There are the module and the feature. Anything else?
- Icinga Web 2 version (System - About): 2.11.1 (podman rootless)
- Web browser: Edge
- Icinga 2 version (
icinga2 --version): 2.12.4-1 - Icinga DB version (
icingadb --version): localhost/icinga/icingadb 1.0.0 - PHP version used (
php --version): - - Server operating system and version: RHEL 8.6
