Icinga 2 is used by many companies in all sizes and allows you to monitor servers, applications, network hardware, services, web pages, etc. However, there is a problem when monitoring external services – many people do not have the view from the outside. You can monitor everything from your own network, but what your customer sees and uses, is not 100% guaranteed to work in this way.
Practically, Icinga 2 has a proven way to integrate Icinga 2 satellites into its own monitoring environment with its cluster and zoning concept. If you want to monitor external services, the satellite zone must be outside of your own network. Our partner NETWAYS started an open source service which offers Icinga 2 in a fully managed or satellite way.
