Icinga DB web has a better layout and is more user friendly. This makes monitoring more simple. Hence it would be nice if we could adapt all the Icinga modules to Icinga DB. In this blogpost, I will discuss how to adapt Icinga Web modules to Icinga DB. To do this, first and foremost, install and enable the Icinga DB module. Currently, monitoring backend is the default backend for all the modules.

Most of you know that Icinga Web can be adjusted by themes. Some of you also have made some! Icinga Web itself comes with several themes since the early days. Now with the next upcoming major update v2.10 we’ll take themes to their next evolution. But since we’ve postponed this feature, much additional work has gone into it, which I want to outline today. There will be some general hints for module/theme development as well.
Today we are happy to announce that after month of work we finally can release Icinga for Windows v1.8.0.
