## Overview
Icinga2 is a widely used open source monitoring software. This Puppet module helps installing and managing configuration
of Icinga2 on multiple operating sytems.
>> This Module is a rewrite of [puppet-icinga2] and will replace it in the future.
## Module Description
This module installs and configures Icinga2 on your Linux or Windows hosts. By default it will use packages provided by
your distributions repository, respectively chocolatey on Windows. The module can be enabled to use [packages.icinga.org]
as primary repository, which will give you the ability to install the latest Icinga2 release. All features and objects
available in Icinga2 can be enabled and configured with this module.
## Setup
### What the Icinga2 Puppet module affects
* Packages Installation
* Service
* Objects Configuration
* Feature Configuration
* Apply Rules
* MySQL/PostgreSQL Database Schema Import
* Repository Management
* Certification Authority
### Dependencies
This module depends on:
* [puppetlabs/stdlib]
* [puppetlabs/concat]
Depending on your setup following modules may also be required:
* [puppetlabs/apt]
* [puppetlabs/chocolatey]
## Usage
### Installing Icinga2
The default class `icinga2` will install and configure a basic installation of Icinga2 on your system. By default it will
enable the features `checker`, `mainlog` and `notification`. As default installation source the distributions repository will
used. On Windows systems we use chocolatey. To get the latest version of Icinga2 you need to enable the `manage_repo`
parameter, which will allow the module to add the official [packages.icinga.org] repository to your host.
``` puppet
class { 'icinga2':
manage_repo => true
}
```
### Enable Features
Each Icinga2 feature can be enabled or disabled by using the according classes. In addition to that, there is a set of
default features that are enabled by default: `[ 'checker', 'mainlog', 'notification' ]`
The default set of features can be changed by setting the `features` parameter:
``` puppet
class { 'icinga2':
manage_repo => true,
features => ['checker', 'mainlog', 'command']
}
```
To add enable features and change their default settings, use the feature classes:
``` puppet
class { 'icinga2::feature::graphite':
host => '10.10.0.15',
port => 2003,
enable_send_thresholds => true,
enable_send_metadata => true
}
```
### Custom configuration files
Sometimes it's necessary to cover very special configurations that you cannot handle with this module. In this case you
can use the `icinga2::config::file` tag on your file ressource. This module collects all file ressource types with this
tag and triggers a reload of Icinga2 on a file change.
``` puppet
include icinga2
file { '/etc/icinga2/conf.d/for-loop.conf':
ensure => file,
tag => 'icinga2::config::file',
}
```

### Public Classes
#### Class: `icinga2`
The default class of this modoule. It handles the basic installation and configuration of Icinga2. When you declare this
class, puppet will do the following:
* Install Icinga2
* Place a default configuration for the Icinga2 daemon
* Keep the default configuration of the Icinga2 package
* Start Icinga2 and enable the service
This class can be declared without adjusting any parameter:
``` puppet
class { 'icinga2': }
```
**Parameters within `icinga2`:**
##### `ensure`
Defines if the service should be `running` or `stopped`. Default is `running`
##### `enable`
If set to `true` the Icinga2 service will start on boot. Default is `true`.
##### `manage_repo`
When set to `true` this module will install the [packages.icinga.org] repository. With this official repo
you can get the latest version of Icinga. When set to `false` the operating systems default will be used. As the Icinga
Project does not offer a Chocolatey repository, you will get a warning if you enable this parameter on Windows. Default
is `false`
##### `manage_service`
