Docker Dashing Icinga

Dashing is a dashboard framework made in Ruby.
In this combo of Docker, Dashing and Icinga, you will get a monitoring-dashboard, that will look best on 1080p screens.

"Docker Dashing Icinga" is based on these two projects, but I couldn't fork them both and merge 'em into one:

frvi/dockerfile-dashing - tack, Fredrik Vihlborg
lazyfrosch/dashing-icinga - danke, Markus Frosch

Also, to make it work with an HTTPS-enabled Icinga-instance, this post provided some information.

Build

You need a local copy of the repository, because of the assets, jobs and configuration that are mounted into the container! Have a look at the code first, if you don't trust things.

git clone https://github.com/hbokh/dashing-icinga.git .

Next build the image:

docker build --rm=true -t hbokh/dashing-icinga .

Or fetch it from the hub:

docker pull hbokh/dashing-icinga

Run

Use docker-compose and docker-compose up -d
But first you need to change these values in file docker-compose.yml:

ICINGA_CGI: URL to icinga-host's status.cgi
ICINGA_USER: your icinga username
ICINGA_PASS: your icinga user's password
TWITTER_KEY: Twitter key
TWITTER_SECRET: Twitter password for that key
TWITTER_TOKEN: Twitter token
TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET: Twitter password for that token

Get your Twitter key and tokens here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom

Also change the path to where you forked this repo in the volumes-section.

  ports:
    - "8080:3030"

Note: the above Twitter-keys have been obfuscated with BLAHBLAH's and will not work. CHANGE THEM!!

Connect

Once the container is up, you can connect to a dashboard over HTTP.
URL: http://< dockerhost >:8080/icinga

http://boot2docker:8080/icinga - dashboard with Twitter-widget and pretty wide
http://boot2docker:8080/icinga2 - dashboard without Twitter-widget, squared
http://boot2docker:8080/icinga3 - dashboard without Twitter-widget, smaller Icinga logo and pretty wide

Todo

Rearrange the widgets or add some more. I don't like the large grayspace on the right.
