How Tenacta Group uses Icinga

Tenacta Group is an Italian company with a portfolio of worldwide leading brands that share the same mission: to develop designs and technological innovations that will improve people’s quality of life. We have been using Icinga since its early days, specifically version 1 after the fork from Nagios. We have continued using Icinga because we like its direction for future improvements and appreciate the support of the Icinga community.

Why is Icinga called Icinga?

It’s the year 2009, a nice weekend in late spring and a small group of monitoring enthusiasts comes together to discuss how to move forward with the idea of forking Nagios. The Icinga team in 2009, just to set the mood. Plans were made to make it faster, easier, more scalable, and simply better. Of course, such a project has a lot of hurdles to take – the most important one was of course: the name.
