Hey everyone,

I am currently setting up an icinga monitoring in our office. Pretty straight forward, one node cluster, nothing special. Just a few devices (less than 50 to monitor).

I want to use icinga director too, so i followed the official documents Ubuntu - Icinga Director.

There it is mentioned to create an own database for director. I first made a mistake and I choose the “icingadb” (the one that icinga2 is using) for the director module in the web view.

So far it seems to work - will this cause any trouble in future? Or should I revert my configurations and go for an own database for director?

Thanks everyone in advance,

Just my 2 cents: choose an own db. the core and the director are two independent parts.
