IDOUtils Notes for SUSE packages
================================

* IDOMOD Setup


DO NOT EDIT icinga.cfg for broker_module entry!!! Icinga RPMs will use the
/etc/icinga/modules/idoutils.cfg with the module definition automatically.
Defining that twice can lead into unwanted errors!

Verify that by looking into the modules/idoutils.cfg file

# vim /etc/icinga/modules/idoutils.cfg

Other event broker modules can be defined using this module definition as well.


* IDO2DB Setup

Edit your database credentials in ido2db.cfg ...

# vim /etc/icinga/ido2db.cfg

db_servertype=mysql
#db_servertype=pgsql
db_host=localhost
db_port=3306
#db_port=5432
db_name=icinga
db_prefix=icinga_
db_user=icinga
db_pass=icinga

... and create the database like described below.

=========
= MySQL
=========

Create Database, User, Grants
-----------------------------

# mysql -u root -p

mysql> 	CREATE DATABASE icinga;

	GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, CREATE VIEW, INDEX, EXECUTE ON icinga.* TO 'icinga'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'icinga';

        quit

Import database schema
----------------------

# cd /usr/share/doc/icinga-idoutils-libdbi-mysql-*/db/mysql
# mysql -u root -p icinga < mysql.sql


=============
= Postgresql
=============

Create Database, User, Grants
-----------------------------

# su - postgres

postgres:~$ psql template1
template1=# create database icinga;
template1=# \q

postgres:~$ createlang plpgsql icinga

postgres:~$ psql
postgres=# create role icinga;
postgres=# alter role icinga login;
postgres=# grant all on database icinga to icinga;
postgres=# \q

Import database schema
----------------------

postgres:~$ cd /usr/share/doc/icinga-idoutils-libdbi-pgsql-*/db/pgsql
postgres:~$ psql -U icinga -d icinga < pgsql.sql

Setup trusted local icinga user
-------------------------------

Now that Postgresql does use a local user to be trusted (insecure, but good as startup),
edit pg_hba.conf accordingly. See Postgresql Manual for a more advanced setup on user
auth and privilegues.

# vim /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               trust

#icinga
local    icinga     icinga                            trust

and reload the Postgresql server.


==========
= Upgrade
==========

There is no db upgrade script like in Debian, so you need to keep track of that yourself.

First, get the schema version

# mysql -u root -p icinga

mysql> SELECT * from icinga_dbversion;
+--------------+----------+---------+
| dbversion_id | name     | version |
+--------------+----------+---------+
|            1 | idoutils | 1.6.0   |
+--------------+----------+---------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

and then decide, what to do - based on the official upgrade docs:
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/upgrading_idoutils.html

Remember - the upgrade steps need to be applied incremential, version by version.

Make sure to stop ido2db before applying the db upgrade!

# service ido2db stop

# cd /usr/share/doc/icinga-idoutils-libdbi-mysql-*/db/mysql/upgrade/
# mysql -u root -p icinga < mysql-upgrade-1.9.0.sql

# service ido2db start
# service icinga restart
