Current State of Icinga
summary
Overview of concrete changes and demos: Director 1.6 adds multiple-instance management, a health pane and a configuration basket that exports/imports templates and apply-rules; config namespaces let one file target prod/stage/dev credentials. Core gains a thread-pool for thousands of agents. New vSphere module imports vCenter objects (demo shows ~5,000 VMs, 100 hosts, 132 TB RAM, 25,000 partitions), surfaces old snapshots and events and works in production. An Icinga DB prototype uses Redis + a Go writer to cut volatile DB writes for large-scale speed. x.509 scanner finds invalid certs; the Telegram/node‑red demo fails live.
