 +===== Icinga vs. Nagios – What´s the difference? =====
  
 +{{:​icinga:​main_7_1.png?​nolink&​159x155 ​ }}While Nagios configurations,​ plugins and addons are still compatible with the latest Icinga version, much has changed since the initial release in May 2009. Icinga is unique as a monitoring system and an ambitious project. This can be seen in the major differences to Nagios in Icinga’s architecture,​ two web interfaces and reporting capabilities,​ features for easier addon development,​ as well as  its open and transparent development style.

 +
 +**ICINGA 2**: Concurrent to improving Icinga as a fork of Nagios, the Icinga Project is also actively developing Icinga 2. There are two development branches: Icinga 1.x (Nagios fork) and Icinga 2 (Core framework replacement / Nagios rewrite). Where “Icinga” is mentioned in our website and blog posts, we are referring to Icinga 1.x.

 +To begin, Icinga offers two interfaces -  “Icinga Classic” and “Icinga New Web“. For a fair comparison, we have put Icinga in both its variants against the open source ‘Nagios Core’.
