I’m not sure why the user is not working yet privileges have been granted.

Dear Carsen,
Thanks for editing the post and the reply. I used the user ‘icinga_install’ user with all privileges as shown below to do the setup but still the message was coming. Please advise how do to assign required privileges.

The connection was refused. Nor sure if 1 put host ip (that of icinga2 server) in right place. There is some issue connecting the the mysql database remotely. The machine hosting it is a virtual machine running on Oracle virtualbox. It’s possible to ping the server but not connect to the mysql.

The link you is advised is what led me this setup. Final step in the link is to use the web setup. the setup was meant to setup the database however the database is empty. Maybe it will be done later is setup.
MariaDB [(none)]> use icingaweb2
Database changed
MariaDB [icingaweb2]> show tables;
Empty set (0.01 sec)
The screenshot you posted shows the user which is typically used for the icingaweb2 database, not the IDO-database.
Did you maybe enter the wrong user (and password) combination?
Been trying to grant privs to ‘icinga2’ which I used early before entering the web setup but not working. The password for icinga2 user is not working remotely using a mysql client.

Found this setup in the ido-mysql.conf which looks to be pointing to the user name and database expected
So you mean that icinga2 is writing to a local MySQL/MariaDB Database and icingaweb2 uses a database on 192.168.6.19 ? Or is icinga2 on 192.168.6.19?
Your screenshot shows, that you try to use the icingaweb2-database again. This is typically not the ido-database. This dialog refers to the ido-database.
Did you follow the schema-import of the documentation (which was already mentionend above)?
If this hints don’t help, would you please provide all of the following information:
On which host runs icinga2?
On which host runs icingaweb2?
On which host runs MariaDB? Are there multiple MariaDB Servers which are used?
The IP of (almost one) MariaDB Server is 192.168.6.19, is that correct?
So you mean that icinga2 is writing to a local MySQL/MariaDB Database and icingaweb2 uses a database on 192.168.6.19 ? Or is icinga2 on 192.168.6.19?
Both icinga2 and icingaweb2 are writing to the database on 192.168.6.19
Your screenshot shows, that you try to use the icingaweb2-database again. This is typically not the ido-database. This dialog refers to the ido-database.
So what happens, when you try to connect via commandline to MariaDB from the host with icingaweb2 (I assume 192.168.6.19 from the screenshot)?
mysql -p -h 192.168.6.19 -u icinga2 icinga2
Edit: The screenshot of your mysql.user table doesn’t show icinga2 at host 192.168.6.19
Your screenshot above, of the /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf, shows that icinga2 connects to a local database. I don’t get that. It seemed, that icinga2 is on a different host than 192.168.6.19?!
If this doesn’t help, would you please provide ALL of the requested information? (Well, you answered some of them, but just to clear it up and make others follow your setup-structure)
IP of host which runs icinga2?
IP of host which runs icingaweb2?
IP of host which runs MariaDB?
The contents (without password) of the /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf
again the mysql output of: select host, user from mysql.user order by 1;
@homerjay Thanks a lot. The issue was resolved by granting the privileges in the link advised. I think I granted them to icinga user rather than icinga2 during setup. Below command was used:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, CREATE VIEW, INDEX, EXECUTE ON **icinga2.*** TO 'icinga2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword!';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, CREATE VIEW, INDEX, EXECUTE ON **icinga2**.* TO 'icinga2'@'192.168.6.199' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
I was able to complete the installation. There was an issue setting up the command transport to use the API. I ignored it and set up using command line. Is it possible to do the setup later to use API ? Below is the message.
