Case Study: CERN LHCb scales monitoring for 2,000+ hosts with Icinga

CERN LHCb - Customer Case Study

The customer, CERN LHCb, faced a significant scaling challenge as their single Nagios instance could no longer handle the monitoring demands of their large, diverse environment. They sought a new monitoring solution and chose Icinga for its configuration file compatibility and strong community support.

Icinga provided a scalable solution that now monitors CERN LHCb's entire infrastructure, which includes over 2000 hosts and 40,000 services. The implementation by Icinga was so effective that it consolidated this massive monitoring load onto a single, distributed instance, successfully resolving their initial scaling problem.
