Upgrade from WebUI v1

Upgrading from WebUI version 1 is made really easy.

• Proceed to the three first steps of the new Web UI installation as explained on this page :

  • install the new WebUI module
  • install python dependencies
  • install mongodb (not mandatory but recommended)

• Edit your broker configuration file and replace webui with webui2 in the modules list:

$ vi /etc/shinken/brokers/broker-master.cfg
[...]
modules     ..., webui2, ...
[...]

• Edit the new Web UI configuration file to update the configuration:

$ vi /etc/shinken/modules/webui2.cfg

This page will be helpful to set up the configuration: Configuring Web UI.

• Restart Shinken

$ sudo service shinken restart

Notes:

You do not need anymore to include auth-cfg-password, auth-htpasswd or mongodb in the Web UI modules list.

Important note for 2.0 version:

With the first version 2.0, do not rename webui with webui2 in your broker configuration file! Some side effects may exist with some Shinken daemons :/P It also may be mandatory to remove the old /var/lib/shinken/modules/webui directory to avoid confusing the main broker ...
