Introduction
Icinga is an enterprise grade open source monitoring system which allows administrators to keep watch over networks. Administrators will be able to monitor a series of devices such as Linux and Windows environments and also CISCO products. Using this monitoring system will notify users of errors and recoveries while generating performance data for reports. After learning that CDOT at Seneca College was using Nagios -- which is outdated and contains a series of bugs -- as their monitoring system for the Arm Build Farm I decided to scrap their current configuration and implement Icinga. And because Icinga is backwards compatible with Nagios and their plugins, porting over the configuration files was nothing but a copy and paste.
