Deprecation Notice

This module is deprecated with version 1.3.0. Please use the new Icinga for Windows solution for future projects.

Introduction

What is this PowerShell module for? The idea was to create a basic module, providing a framework to install new Icinga 2 Agents in Windows more easily in combination with the Icinga Director. Depending on the configuration of the module, you can install / update the Icinga 2 Agent, sign the certificates on your CA (the Icinga 2 master for example) and create the required configuration to operate the Agent on Windows correctly.

Furthermore the design allows to install the NSClient++ in addition with a simple configuration, allowing the Icinga 2 Agent to locally execute the NSClient to retreive most of the Windows parameters, without having to develop custom scripts or modules.

Since the latest version of the module and the Icinga Director 1.4.x, the entire process to install new Agents on Windows can be fully automated. The only requirement is a possible connection from the Windows host to the Icinga Director Webinterface and the Icinga CA Server.

If you are ready to get started, take a look on the installation guide.
