In version 1.5, we released an Icinga Reporting Cronk pre-installed in the Icinga-Web interface. Though Icinga-Web users maybe happy, perhaps Icinga Classic users might appreciate the ability to generate flash looking reports too. Good news is, Icinga Reporting can also be used as an add-on to the JasperReports interface to edit, generate and send reports using [...]

A while back we shared a Fedora 13 based virtual appliance for use with Virtual Box 2.2.

Times have moved on and building on user feedback, we (Team Quality Assurance & VM) now present three new virtual appliances in both VirtualBox and VMWare.

Simply download Icinga Virtual Image in your operating system of choice, and have [...]

As many of you are aware, you can visit the #icinga channel on the Freenode IRC Network to chat with fellow Icinga users and several members of the Icinga Team.

As our project gains more users who were looking for a better monitoring solution and found it in Icinga, we’ve seen the number of people [...]

three more monitoring aficionados to the team!

Gunnar Beutner – Core Working behind the scenes on cool projects the likes of IDOUtils’ SLA reporting extension and IcingaMQ, Gunnar has been with us as of June 2011 and has since become a bit of a database specialist.

David Gerbec – Quality Assurance & VM On [...]

Though users appreciate the thorough release and testing cycles at packages.debian.org, sometimes the latest Icinga is what you want, come what may. Indeed the current, official stable “squeeze” package for Icinga is a little behind Icinga’s fast release cycle at v1.0.2. Though more up-to-date backports are also available for “squeeze” and “lenny”, these still take [...]

If you were around the blog this time last year, you may have contributed to Icinga’s development in 2011. Indeed, we managed to tick off a few features that were on your wish lists last year. Icinga Wiki and the Icinga Web module loader were products of this; but most importantly an API for core [...]

As the core team released 1.6.1, so do we. Download Icinga Web 1.6.1 on Sourceforge now. This release fixes many database related issues and in particular, resolves a authorisation dispatcher bug that hindered the import user function – cheers to user gpduck for the patch!

We also managed to slip in a new feature that [...]

If you have upgraded to Icinga Web 1.6 you may already be familiar with the new SLA extension in IDOUtils. The optional module is our response to the old niggle from the community that data written to database could be better used. So we have taken the opportunity to add a table to the database [...]

A week later, we’ve finally recovered from the monitoring madness at the Open Source Monitoring Conference.

The two days were packed with lots of news around Nagios/Icinga best practices, addons and plugins, as well as Shinken and OpenNMS. It was great to hear the latest from Jörg Linge on PNP4Nagios, Michael Medin on NSClient++ and [...]

Icinga Core 1.6.0 introduced a change on the freshness checks for passive check result and actually this lead into an unwanted bug as well as behaviour. Sorry for the inconvenience this caused for those actually having upgraded and experienced that bug. Thanks to Jörg Linge for finding the bug and all the others reporting feedback and [...]
