Getting Started =========================================== Once you enable the *Business Process* module, it will pop up in your menu. When you click on it, it will show you a new Dashboard: ![Empty Dashboard](screenshot/03_getting-started/0201_empty-dashboard.png) A new Business Process configuration ------------------------------------------- From here we choose to create a new *Business Process configuration*: ![New Business Process](screenshot/03_getting-started/0202_create-new-configuration.png) Let's have a look at the single fields: ### Configuration name ![Configuration name](screenshot/03_getting-started/0203_create-new_name.png) The Business Process definition will be stored with this name. This is going to be used when referencing this process in URLs and in Check Commands. ### Title ![Configuration name](screenshot/03_getting-started/0204_create-new_title.png) You might optionally want to provide an additional title. In that case the title is shown in the GUI, while the name is still used as a reference. The title will default to the name. ### Description ![Description](screenshot/03_getting-started/0205_create-new_description.png) Provide a short description explaining within 100-150 character what this configuration provides. This will be shown on the Dashboard. ### Backend ![Backend](screenshot/03_getting-started/0206_create-new_backend.png) **Hint:** *Usually this should not be changed* Icinga Web 2 currently uses only one Monitoring Backend, but in theory you could configure multiple ones. They won't be usable in a meaningful way at the time of this writing. Still, you might want to use a different backend as a data provider for your Business Process. ### State Type ![State Type](screenshot/03_getting-started/0207_create-new_state-type.png) You can decide whether `SOFT` or `HARD` states should be the used as a base when calculating the state of a Business Process definition. ### Add to menu Business Process configurations can be linked to the Icinga Web 2 menu. Only the first five configurations a user is allowed to see will be shown there: ![Add to menu](screenshot/03_getting-started/0208_create-new_add-to-menu.png) That's all for now, click `Add` to store your new (still empty) Business Process configuration. Empty configuration =================== You are redirected to your newly created Business Process configuration: ![Empty configuration](screenshot/03_getting-started/0209_new-empty-configuration.png) From here we can now add as many deeply nested Business Processes as we want. But let's first have a look at our Dashboard once again: ![New on Dashboard](screenshot/03_getting-started/0210_new-on-dashboard.png) Now let's move on and [create your first Nodes](04-Create-your-first-process-node.md).
