Package Icinga

Project Description

Icinga is a completely backwards compatible Nagios fork which adds many long awaited patches and features that were requested by the Nagios community. Icinga is an open source, enterprise level, system monitoring application which keeps watch over any network resource and can generate alerts and reports for many different events as decided by the administrator. This project involves the packaging Icinga for Fedora and getting that package approved by the review process.

Project Details

Thoughts for 0.2

- change icingacmd to icinga-cmd to match the docs?
- check dependencies on all separate RPMs (like httpd for core)
- net-snmp net-snmp-devel (recommended for compiling of plugins)
- determine if the yum install of nagios-plugins will work with icinga
- add read me doc
- conflicts with nagios? (conflicts tag) (doesn't seem to)
- requires nagios-plugins (can you pass config script modifications to it)
- see if soft links to its default install location will work
- fedora specific changes (if fedora bracket)
- check fedora packaging checklist
- change icingacmd to icinga-cmd to match the user docs?
- create a separate upgrade from nagios to icinga package???

Project Plan

Tracking mechanism (bugzilla, trac, github, ...): Bugzilla

Key contacts:

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

  • 0.1 - The application will be built and installed from source to gain knowledge of its inner workings and to be tested for any issues. A basic, draft package will be built and tested.
  • 0.2 - The package will be tested with Koji to ensure it supports the necessary architectures & the final package review process will be underway.
  • 0.3 - At this point the package has passed the Fedora package review process and entered the release management system.
