+# Installing Icinga Web Graphite Integration
+
+It is recommended to use prebuilt packages
+for all supported platforms from our official release repository.
+Of course [Icinga Web](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-web) itself
+is required to run its Graphite integration.
+The latter uses Graphite Web, so that is required as well.
+If they are not already set up, it is best to do this first.
+
+The following steps will guide you through installing
+and setting up Icinga Web Graphite Integration.
+<!-- {% 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-graphite` package
+or install [from source](02-Installation.md.d/From-Source.md).
+<!-- {% endif %} --><!-- {# end if not icingaDocs #} -->
+
+## Prepare Icinga 2
+
+Enable the graphite feature:
+
+```
+# icinga2 feature enable graphite
+```
+
+Adjust its configuration in `/etc/icinga2/features-enabled/graphite.conf`:
+
+```
+object GraphiteWriter "graphite" {
+ host = "192.0.2.42"
+ port = 2003
+ enable_send_thresholds = true
+}
+```
+
+And then restart Icinga2. Enabling thresholds is not a hard requirement.
+However, some templates look better if they are able to render a max
+value or similar.
+
+## Configuring the Icinga Web Graphite Integration
+
+For required additional steps see the [Configuration](03-Configuration.md) chapter.
