## What is Icinga 2? <a id="what-is-icinga2"></a>
|
|
|
|
[Icinga](https://icinga.com/products/) is a monitoring system which checks
|
|
the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates
|
|
performance data for reporting.
|
|
|
|
Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor large, complex environments across
|
|
multiple locations. This includes your data center as well as your private, public, or hybrid clouds.
|
|
|
|
Icinga 2 is the monitoring server and requires [Icinga Web 2](https://icinga.com/products/)
|
|
on top in your Icinga Stack. The [configuration](https://icinga.com/products/configuration/)
|
|
can be easily managed with either the [Icinga Director](https://icinga.com/docs/director/latest/),
|
|
config management tools or plain text within the [Icinga DSL](04-configuration.md#configuration).
