Gründe für den Wechsel zu Icinga

Vorteile

Icinga allows you to monitor all your hosts and services/applications in one place, allowing for extensive and deep customization by means of templates and ad-hoc scripts.

Nachteile

It is quite complicated, at least at the beginning, to understand how the Icinga system works. You need to understand how services, groups, templates, commands, rules work before implementing your checks.

Vorteile

the modularity, the open source aspect, the "check what you want, you just need the right plugin"-aspect

Nachteile

because there is much room for improvement and corrections, issues / feature requests are handled quite slow as long as you are now paying customer.

Vorteile

Easy to configure and use.It is very impressive a way to automize the tool.

Nachteile

If you install Icinga in RHEL system you must to pay a subscription in order to access to It repository for update the software

Vorteile

Easy to use, to install.
HA capability and satellite usage are greats features
Windows Installation

Nachteile

Reporting features are not great.
If we need to create some reports of Availability module are not reporting somes informations or graph

Grafana / graph integration is not easy

Documentation is not complete

Windows Integration and check are not easy to use. It will be great to install with the agent the powershell checks

Vorteile

Icinga is, even though it's already at this point in time a relatively mature open source project, getting updates released very frequently. It seems to be increasing the feature upside it has over its most direct competition, slowly, but surely. The API is also more straightforward in design over its direct competition.

Nachteile

Graphs and visualization over longer time periods is really lacking or if existing, really difficult to use. The .conf file configuration also feels very old school now in 2021.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Icinga

Vorteile

Beautiful Web User-Interface, Highly Configurable and Scalable, The secure connections between systems are possible thanks to the client/server concept. It also permits data to be captured even if there is a communication problem, with the data being queued for upload when communication is restored.

Nachteile

Sometimes io2db process fails and the UI freezes, Configuration can be hard for non-unix users and this leads to hours of search surfing but if the documentation got improved things will go smooth.

Vorteile

Icinga2 fills a niche very similar to that of the Nagios project. Where Icinga excels (over Nagios) is in the niceties of its configuration language, as well as many advanced features. As an open source project, Icinga offers a free, open, and complete solution for most operation monitoring. In particular, Icinga is great for monitoring hosts and alerting on basic metrics.

Nachteile

There are a few disadvantages of Icinga -- the frontend is php, the stack is fairly monolithic, and the architecture does not take advantage of time-series databases. Having used (and set up) both monolithic monitoring infrastructure and pipelined infrastructure, I have found that although the monolithic (nagios/icinga2) systems have a much lower barrier to entry, a pipelined architecture tends to be more maintainable for more advanced requirements.

Vorteile

The build-in icingaweb plugin is great and allows our less-technical employees to still use this application. Initial set-up can be tricky, but the community following is great and generally very helpful. Extending the number of hosts or services checked is a breezy, with easy "clone this object" functionalities on the web interface, or detailed customization for the sysadmin. The fact that you can customize alerting for a specific time of day for your various users is a life-saver.

Nachteile

As stated before, the initial set-up is tricky, with varying steps needed depending on the OS it is running on. Also, installing an agent on the servers that need to be monitored requires some trial and error. As with any complicated piece of software, the learning curve is quite steep.

Vorteile

I like how easy Icinga is for my clients to monitor their large network, They easily learn how to use it through its clearly documentation, After getting the setup down for them they easily get their job done.

Nachteile

There's some complexity during the installation, There's also lack of extensions to power it up and their team isn't updating it frequently

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

It's open source. It has most basic monitoring functionalities that you need. Also, it can literally monitor anything. You can use Nagios plugins and very easy to create your owns and add to monitoring. You can customize it to your needs. Very few issues and keeps running.

Nachteile

Icinga Community is great there. But for some of the issues, it is very hard to find resolutions faster. I felt the user documentation had not been that helpful sometimes. But they have improved a lot.

Vorteile

It is possible to generate error notifications on the networks, and the generation of documentation with just one click. What makes software very simple and useful for network management

Nachteile

On some occasions when we ask for a modem to be reconnected, the process is not done immediately, I try to do the process of downing the connection service and reconnecting again.

Vorteile

Extends on Nagios feature set and receives more regular updates.

Nachteile

"2.0" theme is awful, clunky and hard to work with. Original classic theme dating back to Nagios era works best.

Vorteile

Icinga has many great features, such as per-user notification periods, resource templates and performance data storage. It can use all available Nagios plugins, so you gain access to the entire community plugins suite.

Nachteile

Icinga is difficult to set up, especially if you use the command line for this. The associated web interface can not be customized and responds a bit slow.

Vorteile

very simple monitoring GUI, that make it easy to search for devices or services that you are monitoring.

Nachteile

the search sometimes does not return the result i was looking for and had to use another words to find what i was looking for.
