Hi & welcome to the icinga community,

It looks like your /etc/icinga2/features-available/ido-mysql.conf is wrong. Could you share it?

BTW: For better readability please format your posts as described here.

Thanks Mr. Roland !

Below is my ido-mysql.conf

( library “db_ido_mysql”

object IdoMysqlConnection “icinga_ido” {
user = “root”
password = “xxxxxxxxx”
host = “localhost”
database = “icingaweb2” )

And I believe it is readable format if it is not please do let me know.

No, it’s not very readable. I’m sorry.

library “db_ido_mysql”

object IdoMysqlConnection “icinga_ido” {
   user = “root”
   password = “xxxxxxxxx”
   host = “localhost”
   database = “icingaweb2”
}

I’d assume you added “(” and “)” here to make it better readable and they are not in your conf file, right?

However, “}” is missing at the end. To verify a configuration (which is recommended before trying a reload) use the command icinga2 daemon -C.

You’ve configured icingaweb2 as database for ido which brings me to a guess you’ve mixed up the databases. You need to have two databases at least: One for icinga2 core (which is usually named icinga2) and one for icingaweb2 (which is usually named icingaweb2).

Hi RSX, I am not expert in Linux as I am a windows person but still wanted to implement this that is the reason I am lacking with the commands and you might be correct that I am mixing it.

library “db_ido_mysql”

object IdoMysqlConnection “icinga_ido” {
user = “root”
password = "xxxxxxxxxicinga not up and running_02092020 "
host = “localhost”
database = “icingaweb2”

Please guide me.

I’m sorry, I’m not able to help you since you do not post correctly. The error message clearly shows that you conf files starts with two i and in your (still unformatted) post they are missing.

Sorry, please manage for sometime as I am very much new for these conversation.

I have changed my ido-mysql as per recommended as per below and restarted the cinga2 service but now it is some different issue:

/**

  • The db_ido_mysql library implements IDO functionality
  • for MySQL.
    */
    library “db_ido_mysql”
    object IdoMysqlConnection “ido-mysql” {
    user = “root”
    password = “xxxxxxxxx”
    host = “localhost”
    database = “icingaweb2”

I know this is an old thread but it still is the first result on some search engines when looking for the error.

In my case i was installing a new icinga2 server and ran into the same error displayed on the web ui.
The solution for me was to check the permissions set in the directory /etc/icinga2/features-available
On my system the icinga2 service is running under the “icinga” user and therefore i had to adjust my permissions accordingly:

sudo chown -vR icinga:icinga /etc/icinga2/features-available

Before the adjustment the file “/etc/icinga2/features-available/ido-mysql.conf” was owned by the root user and therefore not readable by the icinga service.
