I know the release notes mentioned that support for configuring icinga
instead of Nagios has been added, but there doesn’t seem to be any
information in the docs about how to go about this. Before diving into the
commits that added support, does anyone have a guide for this?
Thanks!

You might benefit from using one of the Icinga specific cookbooks, rather than trying to cross-fit all the Nagios settings to the Icinga environment. Particularly if you’re instlaling from packages instead of building from source tarballs, getting all the layout details consistent with distribution packages can be quite a lot of work.

Morgan,
Try contacting Maciej who made the additions to the Nagios cookbook to add icinga support. He mentioned at one point adding documentation, but at the moment it is an undocumented feature.

Hi,
I've been called to the table, so here it is: it's not an undocumented
feature, but rather additional configuration points to be used by another
cookbook. To set up Icinga, you need to have Nagios cookbook at least
v5.0.0 (to include https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/COOK-3287 that
implements these extra attributes), and use the Icinga cookbook (
GitHub - 3ofcoins/chef-cookbook-icinga: Install Icinga using Opscode's `nagios` cookbook) that makes use of these
attributes to install Icinga instead of Nagios. You use the "icinga"
cookbook on the Icinga server, and configure the node['nagios'][…]
attributes and nagios_whatever data bags as for the "nagios" cookbook.
The Icinga cookbook is unfortunately only on GitHub, as I've had no success
trying to contact maintainer of community portal's "icinga" cookbook (
http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/icinga) which seems to be abandoned.
If you have any questions or issues using the icinga cookbook, feel free to
contact me here or off-list.
