tools such as Puppet are used). Secured by SSL x509 certificates, supporting IPv4 and IPv6.
High Availability for DB IDO: Only active on the current zone master, failover happens automatically.
* Monitoring Remote Clients
Built on proven [cluster](#distributed-monitoring-high-availability) stack, [Icinga 2 clients](#icinga2-remote-client-monitoring)
can be installed acting as remote satellite or agent. Secured communication by SSL x509 certificates,
install them with [cli commands](#cli-commands), and configure them either locally with
discovery on the master, or use them for executing checks and event handlers remotely.
* High Performance
Multithreaded and scalable for small embedded systems as well as large scale environments.

The DB IDO configuration dump and status/historical event updates also runs asynchronously in a queue not blocking the core anymore. The configuration validation itself runs in parallel allowing fast verification checks.
That way you are not blind (anymore) during a configuration reload and benefit from a real scalable architecture.
* Integrated CLI with Bash Auto-Completion
Enable only the [features](#cli-command-feature) which are currently disabled,
[list objects](#cli-command-object) generated from [apply rules](#using-apply) or
[generate SSL x509 certificates](#cli-command-pki) for remote clients or cluster setup.

No problem! Just enable ido-mysql and disable statusdata. Another example: Graphite should be enabled
on a dedicated cluster node. Enable it over there and point it to the carbon cache socket.
Combine Icinga 2 Core with web user interfaces: Use [Icinga Web 2](#setting-up-icingaweb2), but also
Web 1.x or Classic UI or your own preferred addon.
* Native support for the [Livestatus protocol](#setting-up-livestatus)

* Dynamic configuration language
Simple [apply](#using-apply) and [assign](#group-assign) rules for creating configuration object
relationships based on patterns. Supported with [duration literals](#duration-literals) for interval
relationships based on patterns. More advanced features for dynamic object generation using
[apply for rules](#using-apply-for) helped with arrays and dictionaries for

Supported with [duration literals](#duration-literals) for interval
