!   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!
