On RHEL/CentOS 7, Fedora 20, Debian Jessie, Gentoo, etc you can now use Systemd instead of the Sysvinit system.

Icinga 1.x already got the required systemd files patched into, and the rpms natively install them.

Installing from source may require the following

# ./configure [...] --with-systemd-unit-dir=/usr/lib/systemd/system --with-systemd-sysconfig-dir=/etc/sysconfig
# make install-systemd

Then enable the systemd service and start icinga.

# systemctl enable icinga
# systemctl start icinga

Status

# systemctl status icinga
+icinga.service - Icinga Open-Source Monitoring System

   CGroup: /system.slice/icinga.service
           └─3269 /usr/bin/icinga /etc/icinga/icinga.cfg

Note: There is no checkconfig/show-errors custom parameter in the systemd unit available as known from sysvinit.

Icinga 2 got that documented here: http://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/toc\#!/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/getting-started#systemd-service
