Description

Icinga 2 is one of the fastest growing open source network infrastructure monitoring software.

It has a new object-oriented configuration language and a user interface that is easy to understand and use. In addition to the many new extensions and modules in Icinga 2, you can also use the extensions and add-ons already familiar in Nagios.

During the lab exercises, participants will gain experience and practice in monitoring different systems and services by setting up a complete virtual network.
