* The Icinga DB daemon,

* Icinga 2 with its [Icinga DB feature](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-2/latest/doc/14-features/#icinga-db) enabled,
responsible for publishing the data to the Redis® server, i.e. configuration and its runtime updates, check results,

state changes, downtimes, acknowledgements, notifications, and other events such as flapping
* And Icinga Web with the
[Icinga DB Web](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db-web) module enabled,
