+# Icinga Cube
+
+The Icinga Cube is a tiny but useful [Icinga Web](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2)
+module. It currently shows host and service statistics (total count, health) grouped by
+various custom variables in multiple dimensions.
+
+![Cube - Overview](img/cube_simple.png)
+
+It will be your new best friend in case you are running a large environment and
+want to get a quick answers to questions like:
+
+* Which project uses how many servers per environment at which location/site?
+ * Who occupies most servers?
+ * How many of those are used in production?
+ * Which project has only development and test boxes?
+* Which operating system is used for which project and in which environment?
+ * Do we still have Debian Lenny?
+ * Which projects are to blame for this?
+ * Do we have applications where the operating systems used differ in staging
+ and production?
+* Which project uses which operating system version for which application?
+ * Which projects have homogeneous environments?
+ * Which projects are at a consistent patch level?
+ * How many RHEL 6 variants (6.1, 6.2, 6.3...) do we use?
+ * Who is running the oldest ones? In production?
+* Which projects are still using physical servers in which environment?
+
+For Businessmen - Drill and Slice

+
+Get answers to your questions. Quick and fully autonomous, using the cube
+requires no technical skills. Choose amongst all available dimensions and rotate
+the Cube to fit your needs.

+# Installing Icinga Cube
+
+The recommended way to install Icinga Cube is to use prebuilt packages for
+all supported platforms from our official release repository.
+Please note that [Icinga Web](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web) is required to run Icinga Cube
+and if it is not already set up, it is best to do this first.
+
+The following steps will guide you through installing and setting up Icinga Cube.
+<!-- {% else %} -->
+<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
+
+## Installing the Package
+
+If the [repository](https://packages.icinga.com) is not configured yet, please add it first.
+Then use your distribution's package manager to install the `icinga-cube` package
+or install [from source](02-Installation.md.d/From-Source.md).
+<!-- {% endif %} --><!-- {# end if not icingaDocs #} -->
+
+## Configuring Icinga Cube
+
+No additional steps are required to set up Icinga Cube and it is ready to use right after installation.
+<!-- {% endif %} --><!-- {# end else if index #} -->

+# Installing Icinga Cube from Source
+
+Please see the Icinga Web documentation on
+[how to install modules](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web-2/latest/doc/08-Modules/#installation) from source.
+Make sure you use `cube` as the module name. The following requirements must also be met.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* PHP (≥7.2)
+* [Icinga Web](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2) (≥2.9)
+* [Icinga DB Web](https://github.com/Icinga/icingadb-web) (≥1.0)
+* [Icinga PHP Library (ipl)](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-php-library) (≥0.13.0)
+
+If you are using PostgreSQL, you need at least version 9.5 which provides the `ROLLUP` feature.
