[Documentation] Installation documentation for current/new versions of Amazon Linux #10067

Closed RincewindsHat closed 4 months ago

RincewindsHat commented 6 months ago

Describe the bug

Amazon seems to release a new version of their distrubtion every two years link and this is currently not present in the icinga.com documentation (for AL 2023) or at least not in a very detailed way.

And Fedora releases twice a year – not documented either IIRC. 🤷‍♂️

It would be more helpful if you could describe exactly what you are missing or what is not working for you as documented. As far as I can see, there is a detailed installation docs for all supported AL versions with special notes for AL 2, like any other installation docs for other distros.

RincewindsHat commented 5 months ago

Sorry, my initial description was lacking a lot of details. A problem specifically is the missing support of EPEL on AL2023 which means no monitoring-plugins or nagios-plugins package. While installing Icinga2 is not really a problem, having no Monitoring Plugins makes this kinda useless.

I am not sure though, how this could/should be properly fixed, apart from shipping monitoring-plugins (or even nagios-plugins) from the icinga.com repositories (which may cause a lot of headache).

@Al2Klimov thanks, didn't see that yet. At least I can then point to that issue.

I have some suggestion though: Although it is my fault for not reading the complete paragraph, adding such a note as the very last thing is maybe not the most obvious choice.
