It is always helpful to know which version you are running of some software, even more so when running development versions. So it’s good if software is able to tell you its version, for example by calling it with --version. For release versions, maintaining this information by hand is feasible, but in order for development versions to show exact revision information, you need some automation, otherwise updating it will be forgotten, leaving you with wrong information.

The health of your systems and applications is fundamental for your organization’s infrastructure. Monitoring them indicates if there are any issues that need to be handled before they become serious and affect your customers. This is why companies often use a plethora of monitoring tools that can spot any irregularities as early as possible. Icinga allows you to monitor a lot of different metrics throughout your ecosystem, with various plugins that are ready-to-use.

Today we are happy to announce that we are releasing Icinga for Windows v1.9.0. This release cycle is the biggest one yet, because we are releasing new versions for everything! This includes.
