nixpkgs-icinga2-overlay

NixOS overlay to add support for icinga2 (intended to track WIP state until finally merged into nixpkgs)

Include via:

git clone https://github.com/bebehei/nixpkgs-icinga2-overlay.git

in you nix-configuration,

imports = [
	/<pathtoclone>/nixpkgs-icinga2-overlay
];

services.icinga2.enable = true;

This will currently produce state in the following folders

• /etc/icinga2
• /var/cache/icinga2
• /var/lib/icinga2
• /var/log/icinga2
• /var/spool/icinga2

Goals

Run icinga2 as effortlessly as possible on a NixOS host.

Idk yet the full path to do this. Icinga2 isn't built with NixOS in mind. The software has a few assumptions in its code, countering the.

Possible goals and TODOs:

• Automatic setup for local IDO
• Automatic configuration with icingaweb2
• Full configuration in Nix-code (?)
  • I'm not sure about this yet. AFAIK, Icinga2 fails without an error message, whenever some paths are on readonly devices. If it's the config path, then this will be unfeasible.
  • Will this be beneficial?
• TODO: Make a wrapper, that icinga2 feature <list|enable|disable|...> works.
  • If done in config, this won't be necessary
• TODO: How to include the template library and the monitoring-plugins?
