The fundamentals of Icinga 2 are check plugins. They are being executed and their return value is mapped to either Host or Service objects. Everything else follows on top. These check plugins can be either from the Monitoring Plugins or custom. While their origin does not matter, they are the building blocks of an Icinga monitoring stack. If a plugin goes CRITICAL, Icinga 2 alerts the sysadmin.

Today we are happy to announce that we released Icinga for Windows v1.13.0 a couple of days ago. We have already talked about the changes coming to v1.13.0 with the beta blog-post last year in more depth, and will focus only on some core changes here.

Icinga is an open-source project, but it’s only become the product we like to use thanks to co-development, brainstorming and suggestions from the community. That’s why we created a platform in the past to facilitate the exchange of custom implementations like check plug-ins, styles, extensions and bridges to third-party systems. We’re talking about our Exchange Portal, of course.

In the area of IT infrastructure management, three terms often surface: observability, monitoring, and telemetry. These concepts, while interconnected, each play a unique role in maintaining system health and performance. Observability, monitoring, and telemetry form the backbone of any robust IT environment. Yet, their differences and interrelations can sometimes blur, leading to confusion. This article aims to demystify these terms, providing clarity on their distinct roles and how they work together.

We recently released the beta version of our Notification Web Module, which includes a cool feature that is not yet known to everyone. We named it Desktop Notifications (Browser Push Notifications). With this feature enabled, your browser can send you instant notifications based on your configured event rules—provided you’re logged into Icinga Web.

One of the advantages of the new Icinga Notifications is that it is more loosely coupled to Icinga 2. This is made possible by the concept of sources, each of which is a possible provider of events for Icinga Notifications to act upon. While the most prominent source would be of the “Icinga” type, there is also the “Other” option, which opens up a huge field of different providers via a simple HTTP-based API.

Monitor your network, servers and applications in a secure and reliable way. Keep an eye on your infrastructure and stay up-to-date with current issues.

Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over networks and any conceivable network resource, notifies the user of errors and recoveries and generates performance data for reporting. Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor complex, large environments across dispersed locations.

Icinga is a fork of Nagios® and is backward compatible. So, Nagios® configurations, plugins and addons can all be used with Icinga. Though Icinga retains all the existing features of its predecessor, it builds on them to add many long awaited patches and features requested by the user community.
