CEO at Orbitron, s. r. o.

Icinga is used for monitoring infrastructure devices like network devices, firewalls, and lots of servers. Linux, Windows, and many services are running on them using plugins, which are being distributed together with Icinga. We have developed some software in-house, so we use that as well.

The solution is deployed on-premises. I'm using version 2.9.

There are about 40 people using this solution.

The installations we have done were pretty complete, but we're always looking for other opportunities to install Icinga in our customers' networks. We're actively promoting Icinga to our customers.

The main use case for Icinga is mostly for monitoring Linux servers and AIX servers. While Microsoft provides numerous tools for Windows, there are limited options for monitoring Linux directly and getting a dashboard to extend its capabilities. 

Therefore, Icinga serves as a tool for monitoring Linux and AIX-related health checks, different services and processes running in and out of the system, and overall system health. 

Additionally, it facilitates automated ticket incident generation and alerting, making it an indispensable tool for efficiently managing and maintaining our systems.

Icinga was created as a fork of the Nagios monitoring system. They are similar in graphics and other features, but most who have used Nagios have changed over to Icinga.

It was deployed using our enterprise application to monitor different services.

At this time we use Icinga to just do basic monitoring of our existing infrastructure. We are using SNMP Traps in all devices in addition so that when anything happens on the device it sends an SNMP alert. We can use this solution online or it can send us an email as well.

We started troubleshooting that issue as soon as we saw it. Icinga has a reactive approach. I think the solution is forewarning us but we are looking for some solution which can take a proactive initiative as well. For example, if the CPU is going too high or the net visualization is less than 90%, we should get information about such situations so that we can take actions accordingly to fix the problem.
