We’re monitoring the situation to decide if we can justify the efforts to build packages for those operating systems in the future. Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux are getting more and more attention. There are very promising alternatives to CentOS Linux arising. CentOS Linux 8 however prematurely reached its end of life, which forces us to stop building new Icinga versions for this system as well.īut not everything is bad. We will continue to provide packages for CentOS Linux 7 as long as it is considered to be supported. For software vendors like us, this means that we have to build dedicated packages for RHEL.įor us the future of CentOS remains a little unclear. While CentOS Linux was compatible with RHEL, the new CentOS Stream is just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS lately announced they are replacing CentOS Linux with CentOS Stream.

In the past we could rely on CentOS Linux to build Icinga packages for CentOS and make them available to RHEL at the same time. We took the chance to update our installation instructions as well to simplify the installation process for Icinga. Other existing packages remain available for free for everyone. Icinga customers with an existing support contract get immediate access without additional costs. The new Icinga installation packages for RHEL, Amazon Linux 2 and SLES are available through a paid repository subscription. Fortunately we have a fantastic community, which builds Icinga for some more Linux distributions: View the full list of community repositories! To get an impression about the operating systems that we currently support, check out our Downloads page. It’s necessary to build those packages on each system so we can make sure to use the right compiler and set the correct dependencies to other packages, which differ from system to system. To make Icinga available on many different systems, we offer installation packages for various operating systems and versions. At the same time we respond to changes and requirements by operating system vendors.

We extend the list of supported operating systems to give you even more options where you can run Icinga. We are pleased to announce the general availability of Icinga installation packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Amazon Linux 2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
