Case Study: European Commission - Development & Cooperation achieves reliable monitoring of internal and external servers with Icinga

European Commission - Development & Cooperation - Customer Case Study

The European Commission's Development & Cooperation department needed a robust monitoring solution for its critical IT infrastructure used by 120 global delegations and NGOs. It required oversight of servers running ColdFusion MX, BEA WebLogic, and Oracle databases. The challenge involved tracking both low-level system metrics and high-level application performance for financial transactions and security.

Icinga provided a free and open-source monitoring solution, praised for its features, stability, and excellent documentation. The team implemented Icinga with advanced custom plugins to monitor specific database metrics, application data, and deployment readiness. As a result, Icinga delivered a reliable and brilliant tool that effectively monitors 120 hosts and 400 services from a single, standalone instance.
