What is Icinga?
Icinga is an open source network and computer system monitoring application which was originally created as a fork of the Nagios system monitoring application. It is backward compatible and is attempting to get past perceived short-comings in Nagios’ development process as well as adding new features such as a modern Web 2.0 style user interface, additional database connectors (for MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL), and a REST API that lets administrators integrate numerous extensions without complicated modification of the Icinga core.
