Icinga is a monitoring system which checks the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting.
Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor large, complex environments across multiple locations.
Icinga 2 is the monitoring server and requires Icinga Web 2 on top in your Icinga Stack. The configuration can be easily managed with either the Icinga Director, config management tools or plain text within the Icinga DSL.

Once Icinga Server and Web are running in your distributed environment, make sure to check out the many Icinga modules for even better monitoring.
The documentation is available on icinga.com/docs.

Icinga 2 and the Icinga 2 documentation are licensed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License Version 3 or later, you will find a copy of this license in the
LICENSE.md file included in the source package.
In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give permission to link the code of portions of this program with the OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each individual source file, and distribute linked combinations including the two.
You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. If you delete this exception statement from all source files in the program, then also delete it here.
Note
Historically, Icinga 2 has been licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later. However, due to newly introduced dependencies licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (which is not compatible with GPLv2), we have decided to upgrade the license of Icinga 2 to GPLv3+, effective from version
v2.16.0onwards. All versions prior tov2.16.0and all existing source code files remain licensed under GPLv2+ (see the license information in those files).Also, the OpenSSL linking exception is only relevant for OpenSSL 1.x. OpenSSL >= 3.0 is licensed under the Apache License version 2.0, which is compatible with GPLv3 and no longer requires an exception.
