The monitoring in our internal infrastructure needs some love and attention. I want to spent some time during this hack week on the monitoring by fixing old checks, implementing new checks and making sure that those are configured and installed via configuration management.

Checks I have in mind for instance are:

Also upgrading the whole monitoring solution to Icinga 2 will be good and beneficial in the long run. Furthermore our monitoring hosts in Nuremberg need to be upgraded and the overall architecture rethought.
