From time to time we want to bring not so widely known features of Icinga into spotlight. In this effort it’s a not so obvious feature, that was available in the monitoring module of Icinga Web 2 at some point already. It has also been available in Icinga DB Web since its release. We’re talking about selecting multiple list items. Our goal was to make it as obvious as possible, without wasting screen space for those users who are already aware of the feature.

Over use of dictionaries in monitoring leads to complex and ugly configurations. This in turn makes monitoring complicated. Hence, it is advisable to use it, only if it is needed or in special cases. Even in these cases it is worthwhile to keep it simple. On that note, in this blogpost let me demonstrate how to clone dictionary row entries for objects from import sources to object properties in Icinga Director.

This is a guest blogpost from Dave Kempe from Sol1 At Sol1, we provide services around scaling and automating Icinga rollouts for customers. In large environments, we make heavy use of the excellent distributed monitoring features of Icinga to build redundant clusters across datacenters. Icinga uses the object types of Endpoints and Zones to designate the cluster layout, where a Zone contains Endpoints, and may have a parent Zone. Using this logic, a Zone with no parents is the top level zone.

With the release of Icinga Web 2.12, we’ve streamlined and simplified the process for performing database schema upgrades for both Icinga Web and its modules. This new feature not only indicates when an upgrade is pending but also allows for automatic execution of the upgrade. Previously, users had to consult the upgrade documentation and perform the upgrade manually. While it’s still important to read the upgrade documentation, this new feature simplifies the process significantly.

This release has the version 0.1.0 and is available via our package repositories. Be sure to check the documentation on how to install it. So what is Icinga Notifications actually? It is not possible to explain every single detail now. We will eventually publish separate articles on our blog, which will go into more detail about topics this post only mentions briefly.

I’ve already dropped a hint at this topic in a previous post of mine which reflected the history of Icinga on Windows: And this time I’m going to prove this concept, since both required components have been released by now: Icinga 2.14 and IfW 1.11. Precisely speaking, an existing Icinga master will run checks remotely on Windows, directly via the IfW REST API – without an intermediate agent.

In recent years, the number of servers, virtual machines, services, applications, etc. that our customers and users monitor with Icinga has increased significantly. For very large environments, the IDO can be a performance bottleneck. With Icinga DB we’ve rethought everything to allow users to monitor massive amounts of data and bring exclusive features that weren’t possible before.

During the past months we’ve been in direct contact with enterprises to understand their Icinga story. As result we created multiple customer stories which differ in their use case.

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.
