Last week we released the final first version of Icinga DB and its web interface module Icinga DB Web. Icinga DB Web offers many new features and a completely new design.

We’ve all grown used to logs, metrics and traces serving as the “three pillars of observability.” And indeed they are very important telemetry signals.

ISO 20000 is the only internationally accepted standard for ITSM, and it has seen significant adoption since it was first introduced in 2005.

So, here we’ll explore its capabilities, benefits, as well as the extent of the ISO 20000 certification.

Links are the plugs, sockets, cables, and electrical signals traveling through a network. Every link implies a function. At the hardware level, electronic signals activate functions; data are read, written, transmitted, received, checked for error, etc. At the software level, instructions activate the hardware (access methods, data link protocols, etc.). At higher levels, the data transferred or transmitted may request functions to be performed (client/ server, program-to-program, etc.).
