Installation

Requirements

This module glues NagVis and Icinga Web 2 together. Both of them are required to be installed and configured:

Install module

Extract this module to your Icinga Web 2 modules directory as nagvis directory.

Git clone:

cd /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules
git clone https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-nagvis.git nagvis

Tarball download (latest release):

cd /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules
wget https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-nagvis/archive/v1.1.1.zip
unzip v1.1.1.zip
mv icingaweb2-module-nagvis-1.1.1 nagvis

Enable Icinga Web 2 module

Enable the module in the Icinga Web 2 frontend in Configuration -> Modules -> nagvis -> enable. You can also enable the module by using the icingacli command:

icingacli module enable nagvis

Configuration

NagVis Configuration

This module provides everything for a complete Icinga Web 2 NagVis integration, including authentication and authorisation. To get everything working as expected, your NagVis configuration should contain the following settings inside nagvis.ini.php

[global]
authmodule="CoreAuthModIcingaweb2"
authorisationmodule="CoreAuthorisationModIcingaweb2"
logonmodule="LogonIcingaweb2"

[paths]
htmlcgi = "/icingaweb2"

[defaults]
; This selects the backend_ndomy_1 defined below
backend = "ndomy_1"

urltarget = "_top"
hosturl="[htmlcgi]/monitoring/host/show?host=[host_name]"
hostgroupurl="[htmlcgi]/monitoring/list/hostgroups?hostgroup_name=[hostgroup_name]"
serviceurl="[htmlcgi]/monitoring/service/show?host=[host_name]&service=[service_description]"
servicegroupurl="[htmlcgi]/monitoring/list/servicegroups?servicegroup_name=[servicegroup_name]"
mapurl="[htmlcgi]/nagvis/show/map?map=[map_name]"
headermenu="0"
stylesheet="icingaweb-nagvis-integration.css"

[backend_ndomy_1]
backendtype="ndomy"
dbhost="localhost"
dbport=3306
dbname="icinga"
dbuser="icinga"
dbpass="icinga"
dbprefix="icinga_"
dbinstancename="default"
;maxtimewithoutupdate=180

You can specify an alternative backend, i.e. livestatus or pgsql (since 1.9.x). Please check the NagVis documentation for details.

CSS Integration

The CSS file public/css/icingaweb-nagvis-integration.css must be copied to <nagvisdir>/share/userfiles/styles.

Module Configuration

For many environments the module needs no special configuration. Usually you might want to add a bunch of main maps directly to your menu - this can be done in <ICINGAWEB_CONFIGDIR>/modules/nagvis/config.ini like in the following example:

[global]
default-map = demo-overview

[menu]
demo-germany = Germany
demo-ham-racks = Hamburg

Icinga Web 2 Configuration

Since Icinga Web 2.2.0 session cookies are restricted to /icingaweb2 or your Icinga Web 2 base path. This means that your browser would not send your session cookie to /nagvis and you would not be granted access to NagVis. To solve this please add a section as follows to your Icinga Web 2 configuration in /etc/icingaweb2/config.ini:

[cookie]
path = /

Before doing so please log out from Icinga Web 2 and close your browser, just to be on the safe side. You could otherwise lock your browser in a redirection loop.

PHP code integration

To get the integration running and to allow NagVis to find the configured handlers you need to add a short piece of code to <nagvisdir>/share/server/core/functions/index.php:

/**
 * Icinga Web 2 integration
 */
use Icinga\Application\EmbeddedWeb;

require_once 'Icinga/Application/EmbeddedWeb.php';
require_once EmbeddedWeb::start('/usr/share/icingaweb2', '/etc/icingaweb2')
    ->getModuleManager()
    ->getModule('nagvis')
    ->getLibDir() . '/nagvis-includes/init.inc.php';

This has to sit on top of the page, but after the <?php line.

PHP on CentOS

Warning: If you are running NagVis on CentOS - you also have to switch NagVis to PHP-FPM, so that the runtime environment has access to the same PHP session data (if not you only see "not authenticated").

The following options are possible:

Switch all PHP inside Apache to FPM

Note: Only works with Apache >= 2.4

Add /etc/httpd/conf.d/php-fpm.conf:

DirectoryIndex index.php
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
    SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
    ErrorDocument 503 /icingaweb2/error_unavailable.html
</FilesMatch>

Switch NagVis to PHP-FPM

Please make sure to use at least NagVis 1.9.5!

Update /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagvis.conf similar to icingaweb2.conf.

Adjust the session.save_path

For system PHP running in Apache httpd, update /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf:

php_value session.save_path    "/var/opt/rh/rh-php71/lib/php/session"

Adjust the include_path

Update /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/php.ini:

include_path = ".:/usr/share/php:/opt/rh/rh-php71/root/usr/share/pear:/opt/rh/rh-php71/root/usr/share/php"

Also see PHP-FPM in Apache httpd Wiki.
