We keep working together as an open source community. We’re here to listen what you say – keep it polite and encourage/motivate us to solve your problem with you as best as we can. Lean back and think how others would react if you click “send”, frustrated with an issue tab opened in your browser. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to just close the tab or rephrase. The person on the other end (dev and/or user) will appreciate it. In the end we all are human beings with emotions, language & culture differences and offline needs (friends, family, hobbies, etc.). What we have in common – we all want to build a great Icinga monitoring product together 🙂
Bernd did a great ignite on that topic with “Working in and with Open Source Communities” at DevOpsDays Amsterdam (video starts at 17:35).
Now for the awesome karma our community members spread …
“Monitoring system is happy now”

Documentation love …
@dnsmichi I don't code and docs are a topic that's usually lacking contributions, so….

When someone asks which monitoring tool to use … our community members are here for the rescue 🙂
@cloudnull @icinga Icinga2, InfluxDB, Grafana, MySQL, mqttwarn (/cc @jpmens)
— Ben Jones (@SumnerBoy) August 23, 2016
@AkitaOnRails none of the above obviously its @icinga in comboe with graphite/grafana and ELK 🙂

First Icinga 2 is like … uhm.
Botched my Icinga installation and am forced to move to Icinga2 now. Whyohwhyohwhyohwhy? #work #stupid #gnashingteeth #geek

Once you get into it … 🙂
Icinga2, I'm slowly but surely starting to like you 😉 @icinga #icinga #work #geek

… is it love? (even with typos ;-))
@tuxclouds das anfänglich verwirrende neue #icigna für so einen klassischen Nagios-Typen entpuppt sich als GRANDIOS

I don’t know/care what N…. is… icinga2 in a nutshell, win.
@union_io icinga2 – the expressiveness of the configuraition and builtin HA, distributed monitoring is great!

Performance Improvements
The IDO database got a monster improvement with 2.5 for config dumps – the initial one is big, the rest is incremental based on only a diff of changes. Glad that community members helped out with testing and providing successful feedback 🙂
#12147
Yeah it works !
My 150000 services, 3800 hosts are insert in database.
Do you think I can use this snapshot for production ?
Thank you for all !
… and direct feedback from this huge environment now running v2.5.3:
IDO DB, nunjaa – also,… Wie soll ich es sagen,…
[2016-08-29 06:05:27 +0200] information/IdoMysqlConnection: Finished reconnecting to MySQL IDO database in 8.56094 second(s).
[2016-08-29 06:11:44 +0200] information/IdoMysqlConnection: Finished reconnecting to MySQL IDO database in 9.00706 second(s).
Sehr geil! 😀
Wenn ich Tobias zitieren darf:
Cluster and Clients
We were mitigating an issue with clients being disconnected when another client fails. This happens during an SSL handshake and isn’t really fun to debug. Although we found a fix – clear the OpenSSL error queue before doing any SSL actions.
Glad that our community helps with tests and appreciates hard development work 🙂
#12309
Thanks michi. You guys are awesome. 🙂 Feel free and close this ticket plz
Also for having >2 endpoints in a zone, there is a workaround while we’re investigating on a fix. Nice to see this being appreciated as well.
Monitoring Portal
Anyway, you guys are doing a great job! Keep this up!
Documentation and Howtos
Rewriting the documentation for cluster and clients on a weekend was a good idea … real-world scenarios from users for users 🙂
@icinga can't wait to go through https://t.co/pAHmO12Rcg – scenario based setups are a great addition!
