[5 minut čtení] V těchto dnech slaví kulaté desáté narozeniny projekt Icinga, který se zabývá vývojem stejnojmenného monitorovacího nástroje. Původně vznikl z tehdy deset let starého projektu Nagios, který měl řadu problémů. Všechno začalo před dvaceti lety projektem Nagios. Jeho první verze vyšla 14. března 1999 ještě pod názvem NetSaint a jeho autor Ethan Galstad na něm pracoval jako na svém osobním projektu na hraní. Tehdejší monitorovací nástroje byly málo přizpůsobitelné, což byla přesně oblast, ve které měl být nový projekt jiný. Od začátku byl také dostupný pod svobodnou licencí GNU GPL 2, jako příspěvek komunitě.
