Icinga

What does the name Icinga mean? How is it pronounced?

Icinga is a Zulu word meaning ‘it looks for’, ‘it browses’, ‘it examines’. As far as we can tell, it is pronounced with one of the famous Zulu click consonants. So it should be almost impossible for Non-Zulu people to pronounce it correct. So the best answer probably is: You can pronounce it any way you like. This is how we do it: “Icinga“

Overview
What is Icinga?

Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which keeps watch over a network 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. In a nutshell, Icinga allows you to:

Monitor – any network and all its resources


 * Network services: SMTP, POP3, HTTP, SNMP, NNTP, PING, etc.
 * Host resources: CPU load, disk utilisation, system logs, etc
 * Server components: Switches, routers, temperature and humidity sensors, etc

Notify –when issues arise and are resolved


 * Through any channel (Email, SMS, phone call, etc)
 * Escalate alerts to other users or communication channels
 * Fine tune notification settings (accounting for dependencies between hosts & services)

Report – on performance and plan ahead


 * Capacity utilisation to plan for growth
 * Chart graphs with add-ons like PNP or Grapher

Icinga is a fork of Nagios and is backward compatible. So, Nagios configurations, plug-ins and add-ons 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.

Icinga takes open source monitoring to the next level- check out the features new and old.
