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:  A new Business Process configuration ------------------------------------------- From here we choose to create a new *Business Process configuration*:  Let's have a look at the single fields: ### Configuration name  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. 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  Provide a short description explaining within 100-150 character what this configuration provides. This will be shown on the Dashboard. ### Backend  **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  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:  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:  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:  Now let's move on and create some Nodes.
