repository.d missing after install

repository.d missing after install

In your templates you add the following to the icinga2.conf

/**
 * The repository.d directory contains all configuration objects
 * managed by the 'icinga2 repository' CLI commands.
 */
include_recursive "repository.d"

Issue

The issue is that if that folder doesn't exist the icinga2 daemon will not start. Not sure when they removed that directory from being created by default.

Workaround

  file {'add-repository.d':
    ensure  => directory,
    path    => '/etc/icinga2/repository.d',
    owner   => 'icinga',
    group   => 'icinga',
    mode    => '0750',
    require => Package['icinga2'],
    before  => Service['icinga2'],
  }

Also noticing this with the latest version. The workaround for creating the folder (either manually or via puppet) works to let things run.

Using defaults from "example2"

[lbetz]

It's gone with Icinga 2 v2.8. We will it also remove in the future.... for now we'll handle the directory inside this module and use a parameter repositoryd with default to true. In puppet-icinga2 v2.0 we'll change it to false.

I tried to fix it in branch bug/repository.d-missing-after-install-403 but I still testing.

[lbetz]

@jasonsattler please note use a file resource with icinga config or a directory in this context:

file {'add-repository.d':
ensure => directory,
path => '/etc/icinga2/repository.d',
owner => 'icinga',
group => 'icinga',
mode => '0750',
tag. => 'icinga2::config::file',
}

Have a look at the documentation under 'Custom configuration'.

[lbetz]

Parameter repositord is added. Set it to false will remove the directory if exists.
