Icinga 2 API with Let’s Encrypt certificates, just for fun
In our community forum Michael already outlined the possibility to operate Icinga 2 with an external certification authority, not the one Icinga 2 generates by itself. Thomas, one of our NETWAYS colleagues, reported his experience in that field: in short, it's easy to...
Monitor all operating systems with one solution: Icinga 2
We as a company build monitoring software. And we have committed to diversity. It is just logical and consequent for us to apply this principle not only to the people who do the work, but also to the work itself. To the monitoring software we build. Especially to...

Docker: Do more with even less!
It's been some time since my last blog post about possible Docker base images and we've decided to use the empty base image for Icinga DB. As it's written in Go, the binary already contains all dependencies and building it with CGO_ENABLED=0 removes even the need of...
