Icinga is a monitoring system checking hosts and services you specify and notifying you when things go wrong and when they recover. It runs on multiple Linux distributions (including Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSuSE) as well as several Unix platforms (including Solaris and HP). The systems to be monitored can be nearly anything connected to a network. What is Icinga?
