Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Icinga requires significant upfront investment in setup time, particularly if you need custom plugins or monitoring rules tailored to your environment.

The most complete open-source monitoring system

What do you like best? It is open source and free, meaning the software is easily extendible. All Nagios plugins, as well as all the community plugins are usable with Icinga.
