Icinga Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• SSLPing permanently goes out of service

  Might be a bit of an overkill if you just want to check the certificates, but I'm using Icinga (formerly known as Nagios) to keep track of all of the systems - including webpage certificates. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago

• What "legacy" software are you still forced to use in 2022 that you wish would die?

  Some of it can be migrated rather easily to Icinga https://icinga.com/. Icinga forked from Nagios many years ago, they rewrote the engine and have done a nice WebUI. It is able to support e.g. Business branches using "satellites" that act as proxy to the main server/ server cluster. I was one of the two guys doing the setup for a company with multiple branch offices/ factories and during the time I was there it... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Is there any program that can alert you of a stalled Plex Server?

  Personally I run https://icinga.com/ (to all my services, including Plex) and it polls every 5sec and after 5 fails in a row it sends me an email. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Linux is dead, long-live Docker monoculture

  Fast forward 12 years and I have Icinga2 collectors in each datacenter using check_by_ssh to run check_systemd, all front-ended by Thruk. The TIG stack is something on my list of things to look into at some point, but with Dynatrace available to do all the fancy application monitoring, there's no rush. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Anyone using LibreNMS in production?

  For alerting for Linux systems, I use Icinga with check_ssh and check_systemd (caveat: distributed primarily on PyPI) with Thruk as the single pane of glass front-end to per-datacenter installations of Icinga. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• SSL error detection/expire bash script

  Collecting reports from multiple servers can turn into a fairly large to-do. That's why things like Icinga, Sensu, or a bunch of others exist - to continuously monitor and alert for a bunch of machines/services/etc. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago

• Self-hosted map page for museum systems management?

  NagVis is a plugin for both Nagios and Icinga. They advertise geographic maps, but you can put building floorplans in it too. We used it with Nagios for years and it worked great. You should be able to add links to your ticketing system, and I expect you could find a way to put exhibit pics in it too. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
