Dear all, I have recently been appointed to design a new monitoring platform for a critical (monetary) environment in a public institution. I am considering deploying Icinga instead of Nagios as a part of the solution. From your own internal experience is there any specific issue I should be aware? What are your experiences with deploying monitoring based on open-source technologies in a heterogeneous environments? What logic/system/backend do you use to generate Nagios/Icinga configs; and if, why are you using Nagios instead of Icinga and vice versa in environments which are defined as strongly heterogeneous - that is virtualized/real environment, AIX, Linux, BSD, Windows, HP-UX (!), Solaris, VMWare, IIS and so forth - totaling of about 700 hosts.
One question in particular - how do you group hosts and services so they make sense? Is there a tree-like grouping of hosts and services in Icinga - I believe this kind of structure can be simulated by using parent-child relationships. Am I right here?! Enjoy the rest of the day.
