The IDOutils are distributed with the Icinga Core software and yes, that
means the 1.7.0 release tarball.
For beginners with Icinga I strongly recommend to have a look on the
Debian/Ubuntu packages. Afaik there are no official releases of 1.7.0 for
Ubuntu yet. But there are nightly builds of the newest packages on the
Icinga Buildserver. For Debian itself 1.7.0 is available via backports and
the newest unstable tree (since last weekend).
IDO consists of serveral components, a plugin in Icinga, a daemon to handle
the data, and the database to store it.
Software like Icinga Web accesses this database to evaluate the status of
your monitoring system.
Useful resources should be:
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/quickstart-idoutils.html

lucid)
