Monitor host and service status
Icinga communicates with all components via various commands and protocols and assigns a current status.
Hosts: Up, Down, Unreachable
For network services Icinga simulates client access and checks if a response is received, how it is received and within which time frames. The results of checks also can be viewed as a current status.
Services: OK, Warning, Critical
View the whole network and map dependencies
Icinga maps the entire network and dependencies between devices so you can view the overall status and determine the real causes of problems.
Gather performance and utilization data
Icinga monitoring checks offer a wealth of information on the health of a network and its performance. With the help of addons, Icinga can help extrapolate long term developments such as capacity utilization enabling you to predict and prevent future obstacles.

Build in redundancy with distributed monitoring
Shield important network areas by monitoring with multiple Icinga instances. With distributed monitoring, agent servers send check results to a central monitoring system for failsafe monitoring.
Customize multiple users access, notifications and views
Restrict access and notifications to the detail of server groups, servers and services with Icinga’s flexible authentication system. Users can receive only the alerts relevant to them and their areas of responsibility as well as customizing their own views on the web interface.
Handle events automatically
Integrated event handlers can automatically trigger actions on events you specify. So if a server fails, an immediate restart or replacement by another server can be automated.
