Schema
Icinga DB
The replacement for IDO
Decoupling Icinga2 from the database backend does not block the core under
high load and since all volatile data is stored in Redis, there are by far less
updates in the database
Way easier to calculate availability data and create business reports on top of
the new database schema. Also access on custom variables works in large
environments
Parts of the future Icinga architecture will rely on Redis as an in memory
database
