Why favour Icinga over
summary
Claims a forked rewrite that actually scales: Icinga 2 is multi threaded, runs checks across zones with SSL, and benchmarks running 1 million services (dummy checks) on a single box at 60s intervals. Outputs performance to Graphite InfluxDB or OpenTSDB, logs to Logstash/Graylog, writes SLA data to MySQL/PostgreSQL via IDO, and bundles NSClient for Windows. New config language supports conditionals and complex types, API-for-everything lands in the 2.4 roadmap; core memory ~10 megabytes with 100 checks.
