Parallel Realities Configuration Branches
summary
An add-on called Director Branches module creates database-backed configuration branches for Icinga Director, implemented with UUIDs and query-layer joins to merge branch and main views. It enforces per-user enforced branches or team locks, shows branch-specific diffs/activity, supports merge requests with conflict resolution, and previews syncs by computing changes in a temporary branch. Templates aren’t editable in branches yet. Version 1.1 is released, works with Director 1.9 (and 1.10 adds sync/service-set features), and requires a subscription to download.
