There are many ways to interact with the data that Icinga 2 collects, processes, and produces. The most common is probably Icinga Web, which displays checks in all the colors of a traffic light....

When working with systemd services in Linux, you might encounter situations where multiple instances of a service need to be managed dynamically. When I had to develop a solution to monitor multiple Kubernetes clusters with Icinga for Kubernetes, I ran into exactly...
The fundamentals of Icinga 2 are check plugins. They are being executed and their return value is mapped to either Host or Service objects. Everything else follows on top. These check plugins can be either from the Monitoring Plugins or custom. While their origin does...
While doing packaging for Icinga, I noticed we have a lot of YAML files describing GitLab pipelines doing very similar jobs. The same build job across different operating systems. That’s wasteful behaviour, which leads to a bigger workload when it comes to modifying...
A few months ago I wrote about sending notifications to Rocket.Chat. While that messaging tool is quite powerful, one may also prefer to keep it simple. So let's also address the good old IRC. No test system? No problem! Setting up an IRC daemon is pretty easy:...

About one year ago the NETWAYS colleagues showed you how to let Icinga 2 notify users through XMPP/Jabber. Now it's time to also cover the somewhat more fancy Rocket.Chat. No Rocket.Chat? No problem! Setting up a test system is pretty easy: Clone this Git repository...

Web servers are software services that store resources for a website and then makes them available over the World Wide Web. These stored resources can be text, images, video and application data. Computers that are interfaced with the server mostly web browsers...
Creating a new Host within the Icinga 2 configuration files is fairly easy. Basically you only have add an object of the type "Host" to a config file and reload Icinga 2. Doing the same with Icinga Director is even easier, you don't even have to bother with terminal...
This blogpost is a followup to the blogpost Icinga Web permissions and restrictions (how do they work, examples). In Icinga web 2 version 2.9, there are two cool updates to Permissions and Restrictions, namely Role Inheritance and Permission Refusal as explained by...
Looking to monitor your Windows systems with Icinga, but aren't allowed to install non-Microsoft certified software on them? Then you are in the right place. After all, you want to monitor your systems somehow. But you don't want to lose the support from MS...
