- Incident dashboard
- Business processing
- Stats
- Decluttering - the dashboard seems to get very overwhelming
- Segregation - would be helpful to split environments or clients into different areas
- Alerting
- The price tag is right. Monitoring systems are only as good as the time you put into them, so why start with a huge buy-in before dumping man hours in also?
- Despite some older styled interfaces, the dashboard is easy to manage and understand.
- Scalability is excellent.
- Icinga is a monitoring solution only. It doesn't generate PHB graphs, but everyone seems to expect it to.
- Configuration can be confusing and difficult. For non-unix people the learning curve is very intimidating.
Icinga: The monitoring tool you've been missing
- Flexible: Monitoring is done via scripts. If you can write a script to return a go/no go response for something you want monitored, then you can monitor it.
- Client/Server Model: The client/server model allows for secure communications between systems. Additionally, it allows data to continue to be collected in the event of a communication problem, queuing the data for upload when communication is restored.
- Simple, but powerful, configuration: The configuration language used by Icinga allows additional flexibility without having to directly specify every relation. That is, you can use commands to apply a given configuration to hosts and services based on common properties.
- Distributed configurations can be somewhat challenging to deploy. However, once set up, a multiple master setup can result in a highly available, resilient monitoring system.
- Icinga supports a centralized configuration system akin to something like svn or git. Understanding how this works and using it in practice can be something of a challenge for beginners.
Icinga, I'll be seein' ya.
- Wealth of community-developed plugins.
- Stable codebase.
- Icinga 2 supports distributed monitoring.
- Very performant, can support tens of thousands of checks per server.
- Difficult, arcane configuration.
- Very difficult to integrate into modern configuration management systems.
- Hard to fit concepts like auto-scaling groups of ephemeral servers into Icinga's aging conception of servers as static entities.
Icinga is the new Nagios
- Excellent monitoring solution, once you understand the configuration language adding additional hosts and services is easy.
- Scalable and highly configurable.
- Beautiful web UI.
- Very very nice API.
- High learning curve, setting up Icinga from scratch can be a bit of a challenge starting out.
- If the io2db process fails you UI stops updating, which can be very frustrating.
- There is no simple mechanism for adding new hosts and services through the web UI, it's all very config-file based.
Icinga monitoring tools
- I think Icinga has a great search feature. I can always search for the hosts, host groups, or check names. When using just regular Nagios, I don't recall being able to do this search.
- The fact that I can use Active Directory or LDAP for logins is a great feature.
- If you are familiar with Nagios, it's very simple to combine the two products to get a polished finished product.
- The user interface is good, but I had trouble with the customization of the front end.
- Certain things can be copied and pasted. Certain things can't. I would like to see all things be able to be copied and pasted.
