Icinga2 – Why?
! Scalability problems in large monitoring setups
! Difficult configuration with dozens of "magic" tweaks
and several ways of defining services
! Code quality and the resulting inability to
implement changes without breaking add-ons
! Limited access to the runtime state of Icinga
(e.g. to query a service’s state or dynamically
create new services)
