[PNP](https://exchange.icinga.com/icinga/PNP) is an excellent starter as it demonstrates multiple functions like adding a new top level menu, configuration page, host and service level widgets and so on. However it works only with Monitoring.

The API for IcingaWebDB has changed and [reportedly](https://community.icinga.com/t/migrating-plugin-to-icingadb/11508/2) there’s no equivalent for it so far.

I highly recommend using PHP 8.1+ for development as there are quite a few incompatibilities with earlier versions and you’re going to repair your plugin very soon.

> there was a utility called Icinga Module Studio

Could you post a link maybe? I’ve never heard of it and Internet search shows [nothing](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Icinga+Module+Studio%22).
