====== Enabling/Disabling Features ======
Icinga 2 provides configuration files for some commonly used features. 

These are installed in the **/etc/icinga2/features-available** directory and can be enabled and disabled using the **icinga2 feature enable** and **icinga2 feature disable** [[unattended_installations:cli_command|CLI commands]], respectively.

The **icinga2 feature enable** CLI command creates symlinks in the **/etc/icinga2/features-enabled** directory which is included by default in the example configuration file.

You can view a list of enabled and disabled features:
   # icinga2 feature list
   Disabled features: api command compatlog debuglog graphite icingastatus ido-mysql ido-pgsql livestatus notification perfdata statusdata syslog
   Enabled features: checker mainlog notification
Using the **icinga2 feature enable** command you can enable features:
   # icinga2 feature enable graphite
   Enabling feature graphite. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
You can disable features using the **icinga2 feature disable** command:
   # icinga2 feature disable ido-mysql livestatus
   Disabling feature ido-mysql. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
   Disabling feature livestatus. Make sure to restart Icinga 2 for these changes to take effect.
The **icinga2 feature enable** and **icinga2 feature disable** commands do not restart Icinga 2. You will need to restart Icinga 2 using the init script after enabling or disabling features.
