I've had the opportunity to work with Icinga during my internship last year.
Nagios development has stagnated somewhat but Icinga is thriving. It is 100% compatible with all Nagios plugins and most of the configuration tools.
Most notably, NConf works very well with Icinga.
They reworked the old Nagios interface and offer entirely new web and mobile interfaces. I must say it's a pleasure to use.
Nagios is stuck in 1995 and refuses to advance. Cacti is stuck in 1996 and refuses to advance.
We need a unified monitoring/trending/graphing/alerting/prediction platform for everything from servers to application level metrics. No single product or service exists enabling you to actually understand your platform performance.
Not 'on the fly' but very close. Add them, then click the recompile button and it will rewrite the configs and restart the deamon in a matter of seconds.

Understatement of forever.

Is it capable of adding new monitoring checks on the fly yet, or storing its configuration in a database? Those are things that I really want.
