We’re currently represented at the FrOSCon fair in Sankt Augustin, Germany, with our own booth.
It’s good to see that there’s a lot of interest in Icinga and we got a lot of positive and constructive feedback from all different kinds of users, developers and administrators. Sometimes people even had to stay in line to ask their questions.
It’s particularly exciting to see the reactions on the new web interface, which will be released as stable in October. It seems that we really met the communities expectations of a modern monitoring solution. But also the improved made to the classic-interface (sending multiple commands, for example) got a lot of positive reactions by long term Nagios® users. Most visitors decided to switch to Icinga (or at least try it out) after they saw the advantages.
Today we’re still at the FrOSCon the whole day. Why don’t you come over and visit us?
There are also a lot of other interesting free and open source projects, just take a look at the exhibitor list.
For the first time, Icinga will be at FrOSCon in Sankt Augustin, this weekend 21 – 22 August.
In its 5th year running, FrOSCon promises to be massive- with 5 tracks of speeches and workshops, LPI and Typo3 examinations, a sub-conference OpenSQLCamp, project stands, developer rooms and even a kids track. For a 5 Euro entrance fee, it’s a pretty good deal.
So if you haven’t got anything planned for the weekend, pop by our project booth upstairs and say hello to the team. We hope to see you there!
Sound’s weird, but it is not. This year’s workshop of the German Nagios community took place in Nuremberg.
Beside a lot of other interesting projects around Nagios, the Icinga team had a chance to share our latest developments. Starting with a short status update of all project parts it was also a chance to give the audience a first impression of the upcoming reporting implementation.
Icinga Reporting is based on the IDO backend and just like the core, it will support all major database platforms. You can download all templates and the actual servlet implementation in our Git.
There was a lot of positive feedback and also a lot of ideas for the coming months until our final release in October. You can download the presentation here. Enjoy!
Not too long ago, Icinga made its debut in Hannover at the world’s largest trade fair for digital information and communication technologies –CeBIT 2010.
Representing the team, Bernd Erk went to stage with a 13 minute spiel on our project. From introducing our project teams and Icinga architecture, to explaining the differences to Nagios and demonstrating the web interface live, Bernd earned a good round of applause for Icinga.
The presentation slides are below in English to browse:
At the end of March the Icinga Team will join the Open Source Expo in Switzerland. The Conference takes place from the 24th – 25th March in Bern and is the most popular event in the local open source business.
Beside other open source projects Icinga will take the chance to introduce the project, it’s goals and the future roadmap for the upcoming months. The Icinga Team would be happy to welcome you at our booth and will keep you informed from over there.
Hello from the Open Source Expo! On the second day of the second Open Source Expo 09 in Karlsruhe, we have found a few moments to report back live from our booth.
So far, there has been a steady flow of visitors and a good response – we even got into the limelight to make a presentation on the Open Stage yesterday. Cheers to Julian for coming in to help out on the microphone and promote Icinga a bit. He spoke on open source monitoring and where Icinga and Nagios fit in.
With over 700 visitors, this year’s Expo is focused on solutions for industry and the latest technologies out of the community. So Icinga fits in well, and we are pretty excited to present next to big names the likes of Ruby on Rails, OpenSUSE, OpenStreetMap, and many others.
Two days ago we presented the actual 1.0 Release an an early demo of the new webinterface at Open Source Monitoring Conference in Nuremberg here.
Here you can have a look on the presentation.
Demo for the alpha version will be available soon.
Nice weekend.
Hi, I have recently been invited to join the Icinga team to assist with blogging, twittering and general marketing of Icinga. I feel very privileged to be asked to assist with this project in this way! and I hope that I can bring some reality with all the technical talk! OK so maybe just my understanding :D
So a little about me ???
Name: Scott Evans
I’m Male, 33 years old, Married! I live in Tasmania, Australia and my interests are self teaching (myself) the ways of ubuntu (both server and desktop) I’ve been running my own email/web server now for about 18 months and have been using Icinga since the initial release! I’ve also been using ubuntu since Dapper 6.06LTS. Although I’m not from a technical background, I strive to learn! (this is something I never did in high school!) also as an Amateur Radio enthusiast, I have a good knowledge on networking, as part of my hobby includes Packet Radio this is like wifi, just a lot slower! (1200 baud.) on a single frequency!
So I’ll be updating regularly on the new and upcoming features that will be in future releases of Icinga… Stay tune for more updates soon :)
We just started the day with a great breakfast. Now everybody is set up, connected to the network and we are starting with a git workshop for everybody:
The agenda for today has a couple of task, e.g.:
- multi language documentation support
- quality review of our new web interface
- deployment and installation strategy for api and web interface
- further roadmap after the alpha release
Our wishes go to Michael Friedrich: He is ill and was not able to come. Get well soon.
A few minutes ago, nearly everybody of the Icinga Team arrived at the Linuxhotel in Essen. We have a big agenda for the weekend regarding the upcoming alpha release, the future release plan and various set of technical questions regarding all areas of the project.
Stay tuned for updates and pictures. Now it’s time for dinner.
