We are ISP and I'm using Icinga 1.0.2 on a single server monitoring almost 1000 hosts and 1600 services on them/on the network and works just fine, but we are using only Linux hosts, no Windows and other platforms. I've used Nagios for a long time and I decided to use Icinga because of PgSQL support and I plan to use this backend instead of writing cfg files by hand or by some Perl script.
I use the hosts group only and I group them according to the city where they belong, anything else does not make sense to me.
