Did you know we have a newsletter, where you'll get all of the news and some inside scoops from our team? It comes out ever last thursday of the month, so you get a recap of everything that happened in the past month, so you don't miss out on any new developments! Get it here: https://lnkd.in/ex2xxU66

We're having another webinar in two days, on the topic of translations. If you want to join in, register here: https://lnkd.in/eXFk4E42 A while ago, we had a webinar about Icinga for Kubernetes, where Eric showed us around the current state of the module and how to work with it. You can have a sneak peak with the clip below, or check out the full recording on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/enFh8sav

October has been a busy month for the Icinga team! While part of us was in Raleigh diving deep into conversations at All Things Open, another crew teamed up with NETWAYS at the Nuremberg Job Fair, connecting with the next generation of IT talent. We loved meeting so many curious minds and passionate professionals along the way. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your stories! At Icinga, we’re always looking for motivated trainees and skilled software engineers who want to make a difference in open source monitoring.

✈️ We made it to Raleigh! Day 2 at All Things Open Conference, and we’re loving it! It’s great to finally meet so many amazing people from the American open source community in person. Yesterday was already an awesome start, thanks to everyone who stopped by! If you’re around, come say hi at our booth! Let’s talk monitoring, automation and scaling challenges, or just discuss your favorite tools! Here’s what we love showing with Icinga: - Monitor complex infrastructures - Stay flexible and scalable - Keep full control #AllThingsOpen

IT infrastructure isn’t just expanding. It’s accelerating out of control. In the past decade, IT environments have exploded in size and complexity. More servers. More apps. More tools. And while automation keeps improving, system administrators and SREs face an impossible balancing act: keeping visibility high across an ever-growing tech stack. At Icinga, we see this every day. Environments growing faster than teams can adapt, while legacy systems stubbornly remain in place. Many organizations end up in migration limbo: half-finished projects, rising technical debt, and an ops team stuck managing cloud-native workloads alongside a decade of forgotten VMs. This is the infrastructure trap and it’s exhausting. So what can help break free? - Finish what you start. Complete migrations before starting new ones. Revisit goals regularly. - Stay visible. You can’t manage what you can’t see - monitoring and documentation keep complexity in check. - Be ruthless about legacy. Sunset what no longer adds value. “Just in case” isn’t a strategy. - Invest in process, not just tools. Tools automate and processes align people. Infrastructure will keep growing. But with visibility, focus, and a bit of open-source spirit, it doesn’t have to spiral out of control.

We're on our way to the All Thing Open! If you're near Raleigh, NC and want to meet us, come on over and meet us at the booth - we've got a calendar for you to book a slot: https://lnkd.in/eYSK78X7 Blerim Sheqa also has a session where he'll talk about how Icinga works and what its capabilities are: https://lnkd.in/eRwV9yDy We'd be happy to see you there!

Choosing what to monitor can make or break your observability strategy. In this guest post by Adam Sweet from Transitiv Technologies, you’ll learn how to identify the right metrics. From basic CPU checks to deep application telemetry - build a monitoring setup that grows with your infrastructure. Still a great read for anyone building or improving their monitoring setup: https://lnkd.in/dw6ZxRaY "Some monitoring is better than none - but great monitoring tells you exactly where, when and why something went wrong."

We’ve revamped our Icinga 2 container images to make your life easier! Fewer scripts, cleaner startup, and full flexibility for your configs. Now powered by Debian 13 and available on Docker Hub + GHCR. Grab the 'edge' tag and put it through its paces!   We'd love for you to leave some feedback on GitHub or the forum before they go stable. Check out Yonas' blogpost about it: https://lnkd.in/eAiwzmEM
