Release Summary

Add some features like Icinga2 feature CompatLogger and support for
Suse in monitoring_plugins role. Apart from some features and
enhancements this is mostly a bugfix release.

Major Changes

• Add an Ansible Inventory Plugin to fetch host information from
  Icinga 2's API for use as an Ansible Inventory
• Added Installation of x509 certificate monitoring model

Minor Changes

• Add object CompatLogger and feature compatlog.
• Add support for Suse in the monitoring_plugins role.
• Add the ability to create additional Icinga Web 2 users - Thanks @losten-git
• Add variable icinga_monitoring_plugins_dependency_repos to allow for later modification by the user if specific other repositories need to be activated instead of powertools / crb
• Added support for PostgresQL databases for Icingaweb2 modules that support it
• Added tests for retention configs
• Allow for usage of loop variables from apply_for within object - Thanks @lucagubler (#344)
• Change documentation to better reflect the intended usage of the variable icinga2_objects as a host variable vs. as a play variable.
• Enhance IcingaDB retention configs #200
• Icingaweb2: fix duplicate task name at kickstart tasks (#244)
• added pyinilint as ini validator after templates
• added tests for icingaweb2 ini template
• changed all references of vars['icingaweb2_modules'] to icingaweb2_modules (#266)
• ensure backwards compatibility with bool filter (#218)
• removed localhost condition as default as it could be a localhost connection. (#257)

Bugfixes

• Added block rescue statement if unsupported os found. (#232)
• Adjusted the way variables get looked up from vars['varname'] to varname in most places.
• Certain values within Icinga Web ini files got quoted incorrectly using single quotes. They are now quoted properly using double quotes (#301).
• Changed variable lookups in the form of vars['variablename'] to variablename to avoid explicitly looking up the vars key of a play.
• Fix bug where the port for Icinga Web's own database connection was not set in resources.ini.
• Fix bug with current beta release of Ansible Core where XY is dict does not work for dictionary-like variables. Use isinstance(XY, dict) now instead. This bug is related to the prefix filter plugin but might arise again with other parts of the code in the future.
• Fix exposure of secret TicketSalt inside the API feature. Use constant TicketSalt as the value for ticket_salt instead which is an empty string if unchanged by the user.
• Fix quoting for ! in templating Issue #208
• Fix templating issue where explicitly quoting integer values for use as strings is necessary in certain versions of e.g. Jinja2 - thanks @sol1-matt
• Fixed a bug in monitoring_plugins where a requested plugin that is unavailable would cause a failure even though it is a known plugin and should be skipped (#327).
• Fixed collect of icinga2_objects when icinga2_config_host is not defined (#228)
• Fixed incorrect failure of x509 variable sanity checks. They now fail as intended instead of due to syntax (#303).
• Fixed wrong variable being referenced to apply x509 mysql database schema. Use schema_path_mysql now (#303).
• Icinga's packages no longer create /var/log/icingadb-redis/. Added tasks that create a log directory based on icingadb_redis_logfile (#298).
• Icinga2: Correctly rename cleanup argument from icinga2_ca_host_port to ca_host_port
• Icingaweb2: Change order of module state and configuration tasks #225
• Reintroduce file deleted in previous PR #354 to restore functionality in x509 module - thanks to @lutin-malin #366
• Replaced quote filter from ini template
• The Icinga DB config template used two different variables to configure (in)secure TLS communication with the database. It now uses icingadb_database_tls_insecure for both the condition and as the actual value (#302).
• The type of vars['icinga2_objects'] was wrongly tested for. This should be a list. The type is now properly checked for (#308).
• When using icinga2_custom_config sub directories within the found files/ directory can now be used to deploy Icinga 2 configuration. This allows users to freely structure their files/ directory (nested directories) (#309).
• fixed libboost_regex1_54_0 missing for Suse 12. thanks @dh-roland
• icingaweb2: run pqslcmd with LANG=C to ensure the output is in english.
• remove superfluous curly brace (#246)

New Modules

• netways.icinga.icinga2_compatlogger - Creates information for CompatLogger object.
