# Linuxfabrik Fork of the Icinga Director

4-
Icinga Director has been designed to make Icinga 2 configuration handling easy.
5-
It tries to target two main audiences:
3+
## Motivation - Why we forked
64

7-
* Users with the desire to completely automate their datacenter
8-
* Sysops willing to grant their "point & click" users a lot of flexibility
5+
Have a look at the [previous version](https://github.com/Linuxfabrik/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/feature/uuid-baskets/README.md) for our initial motivation.
96

10-
What makes Icinga Director so special is the fact that it tries to target both
11-
of them at once.
7+
Fortunately, we had the possibility to work together with Icinga to integrate most of our changes into the master branch of the official Icinga Director.
8+
However, we are still missing one feature that we need for our deployments: Automatic renaming of applied custom variables.

* fixes https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-director/issues/2734

21-
Please have a look at our [Installation instructions](doc/02-Installation.md)
22-
and our hints for how to apply [Upgrades](doc/05-Upgrading.md). We love automation
23-
and in case you also do so, the [Automation chapter](doc/03-Automation.md) could
24-
be worth a read. When upgrading, you should also have a look at our [Changelog](doc/82-Changelog.md).

You could be interested in understanding how the [Director works](doc/10-How-it-works.md)
27-
internally. [Working with agents](doc/24-Working-with-agents.md) is a topic that
28-
affects many Icinga administrators. Other interesting entry points might be
29-
[Import and Synchronization](doc/70-Import-and-Sync.md), our [CLI interface](doc/60-CLI.md),
30-
the [REST API](doc/70-REST-API.md) and last but not least our [FAQ](doc/80-FAQ.md).

## Known limitations
4840

49-
The following are to be considered community-supported modules, as they are not
50-
supported by the Icinga Team. At least not yet. But please give them a try if
51-
they fit your needs. They are being used in productive environments:
41+
* Since the fork is based on the master branch instead of a full release, there are still some open upstream bugs to be expected.
42+
* DataFields: Renaming or removing an entry will only rename/remove the entry in the datalist, not the applied variables on other objects such as hosts or services.
43+
* The fork is not tested with [Configuration Branches for Icinga Director](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-director-branches/latest/).
5244

53-
* [AWS - Amazon Web Services](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-aws):
54-
provides an Import Source for Autoscaling Groups on AWS
55-
* [File-Shipper](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-fileshipper):
56-
allows Director to ship additional config files with manual config with its
57-
deployments
58-
* [PuppetDB](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-puppetdb): provides
59-
an Import Source dealing with your PuppetDB
60-
* [vSphere](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-vsphere): VMware vSphere
61-
Import Source for Virtual Machines and Host Systems

## Testing
47+
48+
* Import [rename-related-vars1.json](https://github.com/Linuxfabrik/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/feature/basket-rename-vars/test/php/library/Director/Objects/json/rename-related-vars1.json)
49+
* Create a host which has the custom variable applied and contains a value: `icingacli director host create host1 --imports ___TEST___host_template1 --vars.___TEST___datafield1 'myvalue1'`
50+
* Import [rename-related-vars2.json](https://github.com/Linuxfabrik/icingaweb2-module-director/blob/feature/basket-rename-vars/test/php/library/Director/Objects/json/rename-related-vars2.json)
51+
* During this import the variable was renamed from `___TEST___datafield1` to `___TEST___datafield1-renamed`.
52+
* Make sure that the applied variable on the host is also renamed: `icingacli director host show host1`
