Review on Icinga Infrastructure Monitoring by Lawrence Allison

Ease at setting up, all things are configurable using templates or JSON files where required which removes much potential for issues later in use! Configuration can be tricky but if you work through it - no problems encountered so far. Good tool to have ready when needed. We had several tools monitoring infrastructure elements with different aims within one platform before this was adopted across our whole network/grid environment (around 60 systems). Previously we'd only relied upon manual checks to check availability / continuity etc from time-to-time once everything else fails. By having full control over almost every aspect there could also be an unexpected loss which would take hours to discover rather than minutes via other means with confidence. It's now part of core knowledge amongst engineers who run new projects into production environments ensuring minimal down times during any outage experienced due too planned outages such as site migration/redeployment scenarios. The ability has given increased trust between management teams and engineering team alike allowing more confident decision making around changes impacting downtime. Icinga is very configurable and has excellent reporting capabilities. It is not free but has a very reasonable price. Icinga is very easy to use, and the documentation is very good. We are monitoring about 30 servers. Icinga integrates very well with our Nagios monitoring solution. Icinga is easy to set up and can be used without a technical background. Icinga is very easy to use. It is very easy to set up and configure. Icinga is very easy to use and has excellent reporting capabilities.
