Today we’re announcing the general availability of Icinga Web v2.10.0.
You can find all issues related to this release on our Roadmap. Please make sure to also check the respective upgrading section in the documentation.
The Appearance of Dark and Light
We have already spoken a lot about the theme mode support that we were working on for some time now. It was planned for v2.9.0, but in respect of many modules and themes out there we gave it the deserved attention. Below is a glimpse of what this looks like.
Custom Variables Shown Unaltered – Or not
Icinga Web 2 had some bad habits when displaying custom variables in the UI. We’ve driven out the last one regarding names now. Uppercase characters are now shown as such. What Icinga Web 2 stopped doing though, can now be accomplished by modules. A new hook that enables modules to influence the rendering of custom variables has been introduced.
- CustomVarNames should not be converted to lowercase #4639
- Display the Director Caption of a Custom Variable #3479
Surprising Beauty in Exported Places
Anyone who already attempted to export a list of services to PDF has seen the degradation of details in recent years. Be it images, icons, colors or the general layout. We simply reached a technical limit with the builtin PDF export. That is why we made Icinga PDF Export. Icinga Web 2 has now a much enhanced compatibility with it. Exporting a list of services while Icinga PDF Export is set up, will now lead to a much better looking result.
More Updates – Lots of
This release of Icinga Web is accompanied by a hoard of module releases. They mainly ensure compatibility with the dark and light theme modes and Icinga DB Web. It goes without saying that we included several other fixes and enhancements for each module in addition. Please check the release notes that I’ve linked below for more details.
- Icinga Business Process Modeling v2.4.0
- Icinga Certificate Monitoring v1.1.0
- Icinga Module for Graphite v1.2.0
- Icinga Module for JIRA v1.2.0
- Icinga IDO Reports v0.10.0
- Icinga PDF Export v0.10.1
- Icinga Reporting v0.10.0
- Icinga Cube v1.2.0
Please note that all of those modules require at least version 2.9.x of Icinga Web now. Icinga Certificate Monitoring requires a database upgrade in addition.
