Monitoring Cooling Units in a pharmaceutical GxP regulated environment - Icin...Icinga
Talk by: Felix Joussein
Icinga is used to monitor and alert in case of temperature deviations in a GxP (pharmaceutical industry) regulated environment. The holy grale in a laboratpry environment are the study samples (animal but also human). So regulators (EMA, FDA,..) around the world want to ensure, that the sample-stability is at it’s best. To ensure this, depending on the known stability, certain temperature ranges in cooling-units are defined and have to be trackable thourghout the whole lifecycle of such a sample.
SNMP Monitoring at scale - Icinga Camp Milan 2023Icinga
Talk by: Rocco Pezzani and Thomas Gelf
This presentation unveils a new addon component for the Icinga ecosystem, developed in collaboration with Würth Phoenix and with the support of Irideos. It enables distributed SNMP network monitoring for large segmented networks, capable of monitoring huge numbers of devices in near real-time, while displaying trend graphs for sensor and performance metrics.
An interactive MIB browser with distributed SNMP polling support and some nice network device visualization components will also be shown.
Monitoring Kubernetes with Icinga - Icinga Camp Milan 2023Icinga
Talk by: Eric Lippmann
We recently started researching and developing a Module for Icinga to monitor Kubernetes environments. During the past months we learned a lot about the platform and how we can monitor Kubernetes with Icinga efficiently. In this talk I will present our challenges but also the progress that we made. The talk will include a sneak peak into the current state of the Module and outline our vision of monitoring Kubernetes with Icinga.
Current State of Icinga - Icinga Camp Milan 2023Icinga
Talk by: Bernd Erk
This talk is a summary of all news and updates of the last months. We will cover all relevant fields and share updates about the current state of Icinga.
Efficient IT operations using monitoring systems and standardized tools - Ici...Icinga
Talk by: Magnus Lübeck
This talk will discuss Icinga as the “one stop shop” for finding the “single truth of systems state”. KMG Group use a “four field” model when designing systems, where Icinga have an important place in a section called “technical monitoring/technical performance monitoring”. We touch two methodologies (MOPS – Metrics, Operational tools, Processes, and Metrics), and Ted Dziuba’s actionable response to monitoring events.
Talk by: Stefano Bruno
Tornado is a high performance and scalable application written in Rust. It is able to handle millions of events each second on standard server hardware. The main objective of this talk is to show how you can extend an Icinga2 with Tornado through the three main modules: Tornado data collector, Tornado rule engine, Tornado executor. With Tornado we will able to receive events from different channels like SNMP Trap, Syslog, Email, SMS, Telegram and match them against a rule engine and decide which action to associate.
Talk by: Simon Gerber
Signalilo is a small webhook server for ingesting Prometheus alerts into Icinga2. Our motivation for creating Signalilo was to integrate alerts from existing Prometheus-based monitoring suites (e.g. for OpenShift Container Platform) into our company-wide Icinga2. Signalilo is currently deployed on 10 OpenShift clusters and forwards Prometheus alerts to Icinga2.
In this talk, I will present the basic design of Signalilo and give a short overview of how we use Signalilo in our production monitoring to forward Prometheus alerts to Icinga2.
Moving from Icinga 1 to Icinga 2 + Director - Icinga Camp Zurich 2019Icinga
Talk by: Christof Hanke
The Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF, formerly known as RZG) is using Icinga / Nagios for more than 10 years now. We have/had several instances for different areas, such as miscellaneous servers, clusters or even EU-Projects spanning several European sites. This talk is about our (still ongoing) transition from our icinga1 installation for general servers which is based on many config-files, changed by two people only, to a director based self-service. The goal is that our fellow admins can integrate new hosts by a few steps. The configuration is declarative. In the host-object they just choose templates and fill in fields and arrays. The actual icinga2-configuration is then done via apply-rules.
Icinga Director and vSphereDB - how they play together - Icinga Camp Zurich 2019Icinga
Talk by: Thomas Gelf
While the Icinga Director is the main configuration tool for Icinga, vSphereDB is a completely different beast. Icinga models everything around Hosts and Services, vSphereDB instead discovers your whole VMware infrastructure and builds a huge and deep inventory.
This talk wants to explain the reasoning behind this, shows what’s possible right now and where those powerful Icinga components are heading to in the near future.
NetEye 4 based on Icinga 2 - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Michele Santuari:
This slot will give insights in the new architecture of the actual NetEye 4 version based on Icinga 2, allowing further scalability to perform also complex event processing (CEP) over a large number of event streams. CEP scenarios will process the events based on the resource consumption limits. The ability to do fast in-memory processing of events such as filtering, grouping and aggregating this way enables to do real time analysis.
Integrating Icinga 2 and ntopng - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Simone Mainardi:
Icinga2 offers useful checks when it comes to monitoring hosts and services in the network. It can ping, test HTTP and DNS services, or establish network connections to make sure everything is up and running. However, such checks are not always enough to ensure the network is operating smoothly with healthy hosts and services. Can you be sure there is no unwanted traffic towards hosts believed to be malicious? What about unencrypted communications and weak TLS? Why has the throughput of an host surged today?
This talk discusses how Icinga2 can be integrated with ntopng to bring network checks a step forward. ntopng, a widely-known network visibility tool, will be used in combination with Icinga2 to create a framework for the timely detection of unwanted or suspicious activities in the network, beyond basic up-or-down checks.
DevOps monitoring: Best Practices using OpenShift combined with Icinga & Big ...Icinga
Talk by Marco Bizzantino:
In my talk I will demonstrate how monitoring works with the DevOps approach. Within an organisation, different people with different roles need to have a complete view over the whole infrastructure. One of the greatest benefits of Icinga is its ability to integrate with various tools and modules to satisfy the company’s requests. An example is OpenShift monitoring. I will point out the most important parts of monitoring OpenShift infrastructure while maintaining it’s complexity. In my approach I will show how we combine Icinga, Prometheus, Grafana and Elasticsearch for an overall OpenShift monitoring solution. Additional examples will show the benefits of using Icinga’s Business Process modelling to add more value to the result.
Best of Icinga Modules - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Bernd Erk:
Humans are creatures of habit – we have our environments, our tasks, our routine. Building up a routine takes a lot out of us – so as soon as we find something that works for us we stick with it. But is it effective? Are there tools that can make our life so much easier if we manage to integrate them into our routine? Of course, we’re in IT, there are always new and good tools! Only 2 more hurdles to clear – find the right tools for you and actually make the effort to integrate them into your routine.
The purpose of this talk is to help you with exactly that – I will show you the most important quality-of-life modules and add-ons for Icinga.All of them officially supported by the Icinga team and super easy to integrate into your system!
hallenges of Monitoring Big Infrastructure - Icinga Camp Milan 2019Icinga
Talk by Blerim Sheqa:
Most monitoring environments are automated with configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef or Ansible. While these tools solve many problems, such as the initial setup, reproducibility and visibility, there are many other challenges that need to be tackled to truly monitor big environments. As a vendor of monitoring software, Icinga came up with unique approaches to solve some extraordinary problems to monitor large scale infrastructures. The methods are a result of real world problems as seen in the wild and applicable to many scenarios.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
