Help us improve Icinga

Perhaps you have noticed a bug while using Icinga or just would like to share your knowledge in Icinga Wiki. To do either of these you need to have an Icinga user account.

Already know how? Jump to Icinga Dev Login to report a bug or edit Icinga Wiki

Step 1: Create an Icinga user account

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to create an account, to do this you need to click on the Development drop down menu at the top of the Icinga website, then on Create User.

You will then need to complete the form to create your account…

Once your account has been created you will be emailed a code that will enable you to the use the login.  Select on the menu item in the top left hand corner “Development / Icinga Development” and use the “Sign in” function on the top of the development page:

Now that you have your account and you have logged in you can edit Icinga Wiki or read on to report a bug.

Step 2: Report a Bug

As the code for Icinga is a continuous work in progress there is bound to be the occasion where you will encounter a bug! Now instead of just leaving this and assuming that the matter will just be resolved in the next release it’s best to open a bug report against what ever you find.

First you will need to select the project that you wish to report against, to do this simply click on the projects link at the top of the page …

You will now have the option to select the current projects …

Now that you have selected the sub project (in this image it’s the Core) you now raise your bug by clicking on the “New Issue”

From here is where you will fill in all the details you can about the problem you have …

You can at any point click on “preview”, to review your work …

Once you are satisfied you have included all that you can to best describe the situation, then remember to click on “Create” you will then be redirected to the newly created bug report…

If you missed something don’t worry you can simply click on “Update” and add further information. Finally,  remember to click on “Submit” to add the update!
