NAME

       icinga - network/systems status monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       icinga [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>

DESCRIPTION

       icinga is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more.  For more information, please
       consult the online documentation available at http://www.icinga.org, or on your Icinga server's web page.

OPTIONS

       main_config_file
	      The main configuration file.  On debian systems this defaults to /etc/icinga/icinga.cfg

       -h     A helpful usage message

       -v     Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify  your  config
	      data before (re)starting Icinga.

       -s     Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files.

       -d     Starts Icinga in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).
