2
www.icinga.org | docs.icinga.org | wiki.icinga.org | twitter.com/icinga

16. OPEN SOURCE MONITORING
Icinga2 – Why?
Scalability problems in large monitoring setups
Difficult configuration with dozens of "magic" tweaks
and several ways of defining services
Code quality and the resulting inability to
implement changes without breaking add-ons
Limited access to the runtime state of Icinga
(e.g. to query a service’s state or dynamically
create new services)
