Once you’re in the flow, you’ll love it. I’m primarily active over at monitoring-portal.org though.

It took me less time ;-) Well, less time in the beginning could turn into more time in the future. I haven’t heard much from the Shinken ecosystem (which is primarily French based) lately, only that there is a fork (alignak) and that they have an enterprise version now. I personally don’t like open core products that much, as I live for Open Source and community work. Though their open source framework as the name change implies seems to provide pretty good ideas. Some of them were an inspiration for Icinga 2 and Icinga Web 2 features (e.g. the modules and optional features). In terms of graphing, there are different opinions floating around. One prefers PNP with RRDTool, one goes for Graphite or other time series databases. Regarding Graphite, Grafana is pretty much top notch software. If PNP would provide a JSON export to allow Grafana to read from that as well, that would add a missing piece in here imho. Graphite is pretty slick when it comes to real-time monitoring. Using the Icinga 2 GraphiteWriter feature to just send those over a tcp socket, and see them live.

Given that the Icinga Director is nearly a month old from its first public release 1.0.0 please provide feedback and issues (bugs or feature requests on dev.icinga.org). It will certainly help to make it even more great :) Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Friedrich, DI (FH) Senior Developer NETWAYS GmbH | Deutschherrnstr. 15-19 | D-90429 Nuernberg Tel: +49 911 92885-0 | Fax: +49 911 92885-77 CEO: Julian Hein, Bernd Erk | AG Nuernberg HRB18461 http://www.netways.de | michael.friedr...@netways.de ** OSDC 2016 - April - netways.de/osdc ** ** OSBConf 2016 - September - osbconf.org ** _______________________________________________ icinga-users mailing list icinga-users@lists.icinga.org https://lists.icinga.org/mailman/listinfo/icinga-users
