Configuration

Icinga Reporting is configured via the web interface. Below you will find an overview of the necessary settings.

Backend

Icinga Reporting stores all its configuration in the database, therefore you need to create and configure a database resource for it.

1. Create a new resource for Icinga Reporting via the Configuration -> Application -> Resources menu.

2. Configure the resource you just created as the database connection for Icinga Reporting using the Configuration → Modules → reporting → Backend menu. If you’ve used reporting as name for the resource, this is optional.

Mail

At Configuration -> Modules -> reporting -> Mail you can configure the address that is used as the sender’s address (From) in E-mails.

Permissions

There are four permissions that can be used to control what can be managed by whom.

Permission	Applies to
reporting/reports	Reports (create, edit, delete)
reporting/schedules	Schedules (create, edit, delete)
reporting/templates	Templates (create, edit, delete)
reporting/timeframes	Timeframes (create, edit, delete)

Icinga Reporting Daemon

There is a daemon for generating and distributing reports on a schedule if configured:

icingacli reporting schedule run

This command schedules the execution of all applicable reports.

The systemd service of this module uses this command as well.

To configure this as a systemd service, copy the example service definition from /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/reporting/config/systemd/icinga-reporting.service to /etc/systemd/system/icinga-reporting.service.

You can run the following command to enable and start the daemon.

systemctl enable --now icinga-reporting.service
