Sorry - I could have checked for myself before asking this.

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=icinga

confirms you can still get Icinga1 for Debian Stretch.

I think you should definitely upgrade to
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=icinga2
as you won't get much support into the future for Icinga1 any more.

Note that the configuration files have changed quite a bit between Icinga1 
(which was essentially Nagios-compatible) and Icinga2, so the upgrade will 
require some effort and adjustment - something i would only recommend by 
setting up a development / staging server to perform the upgrade on, while 
your production server continues running Icinga1 and providing your monitoring 
function.

https://www.icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/23-migrating-from-icinga-1x/ 
can help with the migration process.
