About

Icinga is a monitoring system which checks
the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates
performance data for reporting.

Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor large, complex environments across
multiple locations.

Icinga 2 is the monitoring server and requires Icinga Web 2
on top in your Icinga Stack. The configuration
can be easily managed with either the Icinga Director,
config management tools or plain text within the Icinga DSL.

License

Icinga 2 and the Icinga 2 documentation are licensed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License Version 3 or later, you will find a copy of this license in the
LICENSE.md file included in the source package.

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
permission to link the code of portions of this program with the
OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each
individual source file, and distribute linked combinations including
the two.

You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all
of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this
exception, you may extend this exception to your version of the
file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
so, delete this exception statement from your version. If you delete
this exception statement from all source files in the program, then
also delete it here.

Note

Historically, Icinga 2 has been licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 or later. However, due to
newly introduced dependencies licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (which is not compatible with GPLv2), we have
decided to upgrade the license of Icinga 2 to GPLv3+, effective from version v2.16.0 onwards. All versions prior to
v2.16.0 and all existing source code files remain licensed under GPLv2+ (see the license information in those files).

Also, the OpenSSL linking exception is only relevant for OpenSSL 1.x. OpenSSL >= 3.0 is licensed under the
Apache License version 2.0, which is compatible with GPLv3 and no longer requires an exception.
