More than 500 servers are actively managed by the Windows infrastructure team on the CERN site. They run critical services for the laboratory, from controlling some of the accelerator systems to directory services, storage, and databases. Visibility of the state of these servers at all times is critical for smooth operation of their services. This paper describes the implementation of an open-source ecosystem based on icinga2, focused on how to monitor Windows-based services, and the technical choices and configurations that were made to transparently deploy and manage an opensource monitoring infrastructure in the organization.
