Icinga2
Shortly after completing my it training, I was tasked with replacing the outdated Nagios system with a modern Icinga2 setup. Since then, I’ve been using Icinga2 continuously—especially to monitor the servers in my homelab.
My projects
Current and past projects where I used Icinga2.
At the time, around 50 virtual Linux and Windows servers were being operated without any centralized monitoring system. Service outages and disruptions were only reported by end users, often resulting in prolonged downtimes. I introduced Icinga2 - a monitoring solution compatible with both Linux and Windows. Existing and new Linux servers managed via Salt were automatically integrated into Icinga2, with service checks applied accordingly. This enabled the team to detect and respond to outages much faster and more professionally. Today, the client reports that the setup is still in use and actively being further developed.
The client was using an outdated Nagios system, which was to be replaced with Icinga2. All existing services were migrated 1:1 to Icinga2. For improved visualization, Icinga Web was also installed to provide a modern web interface for Icinga.
