10 years ago Icinga can make SOAP requests using the check_http method a custom command can be used to call a private webscript that will make a SOAP request to the MaNGOS server due to security concerns i do not recomend making the SOAP ports (7878) avalible to the outside world. An example SOAP client can be found in https://github.com/CollectiveIndustries/server/blob/master/contrib/soap/example.php this should be enough to pass along HTTP requests directly to the SOAP service if running this on a world accessible webserver then i would suggest setting up an apache virtual host that accepts requests directly from the Icinga-Monitoring daemon this SOAP connection is also usefull for sending in-game GM commands like giving inventory, or any other command you have in the mangos database. i made a post a while back that detailed the instalation process from the ground up and tords the bottom of the first post you will find another PHP script that will link-into the mangos database and pull all the in-game commands for you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1964479
install and set up Icinga along side MaNGOS as a system monitor. This is enhancement should give you a 5 second overview of the entire system. running processes memory usage network traffic just to name a few also sub monitoring daemons can be set up to remotely monitor the entire MaNGOS network in the same overview page to keep tabs on each realm
