IcingaMQ



ZeroMQ - Pros

Fast

Various platforms available

Running prototype

ZeroMQ - Cons

Missing security implementation

Bidirectional communication not provided

Needed features broke with platform and framework

compatibility

IcingaMQ - State



IcingaMQ



2



Scalability problems in large monitoring setups

Difficult configuration with dozens of "magic" tweaks

and several ways of defining services

Code quality and the resulting inability to

implement changes without breaking add-ons

Limited access to the runtime state of Icinga

(e.g. to query a service’s state or dynamically

create new services)

Icinga2 – Why?



Independently developed from Icinga 1.x

Compat layer for Icinga 1.x

Built from scratch based on C++ and Boost-Libraries

Support for current and older *NIX platforms and

Windows as well

Modular design and configuration

Licensed under GPLV2

Dualstack IPv4 and Ipv6 over SSL

New configuration format – DON’T PANIC!
