== Compile and install Icinga with IDOUtils ==

Create an icinga user, icinga-cmd group, and add the apache user and icinga user to the icinga-cmd group.

useradd -m icinga

groupadd icinga-cmd

usermod -a -G icinga-cmd icinga

Now lets do some compiling.

cd /usr/local/src/

tar -xzf icinga-1.4.2.tar.gz

make all

make fullinstall

Edit the ''/usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/contacts.cfg'' config file with your favorite editor and change the email address associated with the icingaadmin contact definition to the address you'd like to use for receiving alerts.

vim /usr/local/icinga/etc/objects/contacts.cfg

cp /usr/local/icinga/etc/ido2db.cfg-sample /usr/local/icinga/etc/ido2db.cfg

cp /usr/local/icinga/etc/idomod.cfg-sample /usr/local/icinga/etc/idomod.cfg

Create the icinga db/user/pass for IDOUtils to use and import the mysql database (you should still be in ''/usr/local/src/icinga-1.4.2'' working directory).

Configure the password for the icinga directory.

Configure the Apache config located in ''/etc/httpd/conf.d/''

ls /etc/httpd/conf.d/ <nowiki>|</nowiki> grep icinga

#you should see two files. Something like 1002-icinga.conf and icinga.conf

#and move </VirtualHost> from the middle of the file to the end.

#be sure to confirm that the contents of icinga.conf are within 1002-icinga.conf before removing it

Start icinga, idoutils and restart the apache server.

service ido2db start

Visit http://icinga and make sure that it is currently working.
