Adding Icinga Package Repository

Info

A paid repository subscription is required for Amazon Linux 2 repositories. Get more information on icinga.com/subscription.

zypper automatically prompts you to enter your username and password for the subscription.

Here’s how to add the official release repository:

rpm --import https://packages.icinga.com/icinga.key

zypper ar -r https://packages.icinga.com/subscription/sles/$releasever/release/ icinga-stable-release

Installing the Package

Use your distribution’s package manager to install the icinga-graphite package as follows:

zypper install icinga-graphite

Prepare Icinga 2

Enable the graphite feature:

# icinga2 feature enable graphite

Adjust its configuration in /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/graphite.conf:

object GraphiteWriter "graphite" {
  host = "192.0.2.42"
  port = 2003
  enable_send_thresholds = true
}

And then restart Icinga2. Enabling thresholds is not a hard requirement. However, some templates look better if they are able to render a max value or similar.
