For the third time, we initiated the Icinga Feedback Week. Why? Because your opinion matters to us, a lot. Even though, we do get feedback throughout the year, our yearly Feedback Week is a chance for us, to ask you specific questions to certain topics. By understanding your thoughts and feelings towards Icinga, we aim to develop the most effective monitoring tool for you. But that wasn’t all: as a good tradition, we asked you to choose your Community Heroes and we have found five!

The Icinga team in 2009, just to set the mood. Plans were made to make it faster, easier, more scalable, and simply better. Of course, such a project has a lot of hurdles to take – the most important one was of course: the name.

If you’re an Icinga user, you already know the importance of having a streamlined and efficient configuration management process.
