Hello Jon,

we have similar requirements. I would call it having a dynamic monitoring in a 
dynamic world.
To archive this, we deploy our monitoring-config via rpm packages in yaml 
format and crawl it from our monitoring servers, if something changes on the 
installed packages of a system.
This enables us to separate the monitoring config in small parts and join it on 
the target system to the one and whole configuration. Everything needed is on 
github at Immobilienscout24 (https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/yaml-server 
and https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/monitoring-config-generator). We use 
multiple Icinga instances reporting via ido2db into a single status database to 
have a consolidated view.

Furthermore we use Graphite to graph nearly anything. I just love the flexible 
approach of it.
Alarming on Graphite values is done using a check_graphite plugin. To get 
perfdata in Graphite for active checks from Icinga,
I wrote a simple daemon. (https://github.com/marco-hoyer/metricd)

Maybe you can get some ideas on how to deal with it.

greets,
Marco

We are looking at rolling out a network of servers (Cloud/SaaS) and using 
ganglia to collect perf measurements from them all.
We sort of like the dynamic nature of pushing data and not having to configure 
everything beforehand – especially since we think that we will be 
starting/stopping instances all of the time.
We were looking at using Nagios to monitor thresholds and issue alarms, but can 
we use Icinga instead?

1.    Nagios has a plug-ion to get the measurement from the RRDS, can I use 
this plug-in for Icinga? Is there an equivalent?
2.    I see that Icinga 2.x has yet to be released for production use, is there 
a schedule plan for it being available for deployment?
3.    Anything else that I should consider?

Thanks,
jon
