* Clear-cut, object-based configuration - Icinga 2 introduces a new object-based, rule-driven configuration format, which offers user-friendly features such as apply rules for dynamic object generation. * Clever commands & runtime macros - Commands in Icinga 2 are smarter than their Nagios™-style cousins. * Logical Dependencies - Say goodbye to confusing parent/child relationships. Dependencies in Icinga 2 are straightforward; they can be defined as host-host, service-service or mixed (host-service and service-host) and all work in the same manner. * Apply & assign attributes - Keep configuration work to a minimum by defining templates to ”apply” to configuration objects. Apply services and notifications to hosts, or downtimes and dependencies to services for example. * Dynamic Notifications - Similar to Icinga 1, event handlers and notifications are supported. Thanks to the new dynamic configuration format, users can adjust notification settings at runtime (e.g. in order to implement on-call rotation).

* Comprehensive Dashboards - A powerful dashboard system provides users with the ability to query, filter, and analyze incoming log events. * High Availability & Failover - Log Server uses a cluster of servers to store log data to prevent data loss and ensure the availability of your log information. * Alerting - Create alerts based on queries with specific thresholds and send them to proper team members. * Setup Wizards - Receive log data from a designated source with just a few clicks using easy to follow step by step instructions. * Quick Search & Query - Search with multiple queries and filters allowing you to quickly drill down to the exact problem you are searching for. * Extendable Architecture - Admins have full access to the back end API allowing for limitless customization with in-house and third-party apps. * Real-Time Data - See log data from all of your servers in real time, allowing you to analyze and solve problems as they occur. * Highly Scalable - You can easily add additional cluster instances to give you more power, speed, storage, and reliability.
