# /usr/bin/icinga-web-clearcache

If you've chosen different database usernames/passwords please edit
/etc/icinga-web/conf.d/databases.xml in the 'icinga web' and 'icinga
idoutils' sections. 

Check the documentation for more details
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/icinga-web-config.html

Configuration for Icinga 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Icinga Web 1.x targets a default Icinga Core & IDOUtils installation. You will
need to adjust certain configuration parameters in order to point them to Icinga 2's
locations.

* IDO DB Backend

Only if the default credentials have been changed during the setup.

# vim /etc/icinga-web/conf.d/databases.xml

* External Command Pipe

# vim /etc/icinga-web/conf.d/access.xml

            <write>
                <files>
                    <resource name="icinga_pipe">/var/run/icinga2/cmd/icinga.cmd</resource>
                </files>
            </write>

# icinga-web-clearcache

Logs & Errors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Icinga Web logs are stored in /var/log/icinga-web
Common errors may also be within apache logs.

Your browsers developer tools & console may help too.

File Locations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

| /etc/icinga-web/conf.d 		| xml configuration
| /usr/share/icinga-web 		| data root dir (where the php, js will live)
| /etc/httpd/conf.d/icinga-web.conf 	| apache config
| /var/log/icinga-web 			| contains all log files
| /var/cache/icinga-web 		| config cache files (cleared with icinga-web-clearcache)

The icinga package places the external command pipe into '/var/spool/icinga/cmd/icinga.cmd'
which will be the default location in the access.xml configuration file.
