Parsing error: InstanceController.php & EventtypesController.php

[Niels Petö]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to connect our icingaweb2 instance with Elasticsearch.
I'm encountering problems when loading module configuration pages on icingaweb2

Expected Behavior

Being able to load the ES Instance configuration and/or Event Types configuration page(s)

Current Behavior

Error message when loading pages

1. Instance configuration
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/elasticsearch/application/controllers/InstancesController.php on line 23

      $  vi +23 InstancesController.php 
        $this->getTabs()->add(uniqid(), [
            'label'     => $this->translate('Event Types'),
            'url'       => Url::fromPath('elasticsearch/eventtypes')
        ]);

2. Event Types configuration
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/elasticsearch/application/controllers/EventtypesController.php on line 22

        $ vi +22 EventtypesController.php
        $this->getTabs()->add(uniqid(), [
            'label'     => $this->translate('Instances'),
            'url'       => Url::fromPath('elasticsearch/instances')
        ]);

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Copy module files from master branch into /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/elastisearch
2. Enable module
3. Go into Icingaweb2 web interface
4. Try to configure ES Instances and/or Event Types
5. Get parse error

Can you share the generated config.ini and instances.ini configuration files from /etc/icingaweb2/modules/elasticsearch?

Also, please test again with Icinga Web 2 v2.5.1

@dnsmichi
I don't have the elasticsearch directory into /etc/icingaweb2/modules

For Icinga Web 2 v2.5.1, can't test it quickly since I have no hands on the local repository

Nevermind, I am bit tired today. Clearly this is a PHP exception, and I also know why - your PHP version is EOL, you need at least PHP 5.6 for this module.

Hint: the problem is the [] array notation, this has been introduced with PHP 5.4.
