Icinga is an open source monitoring system that checks the availability of resources, notifies users of outages, and provides business intelligence data. It can monitor everything, gather status information, collect performance data, and notify users through any channel. The presentation discusses how to focus Icinga monitoring on important things, work with faults and metrics, make monitoring part of the development lifecycle, and provide monitoring as a service.
