Overview

The IT monitoring platform. Scalable. Automated. Extensible.

Gain a complete view of your entire IT infrastructure: from public cloud providers, to your data centers, across servers, networks, containers, and more. Checkmk enables ITOps and DevOps teams to run your IT at peak performance.

Automate monitoring to save time: Add new components with less effort using automatic detection and configuration: Checkmk will recognize them and provide monitoring for all relevant their components, along with their metrics and thresholds.
Features such as host lifecycle management and auto-registration of hosts help you automate monitoring of dynamic, ephemeral infrastructure: Containers, pods, VMs and more can be added and removed from monitoring automatically.
Use modern rule-based 1-to-N configuration, which remains intuitive even in complex environments and results in lower configuration effort than other monitoring solutions.
Automate the configuration and operation with the Checkmk REST API.
Centrally manage your agents and automate agent updating with the Agent Bakery.
Integrate other systems using powerful APIs to automate almost anything imaginable.
From zero to monitoring in ten minutes: Fast installation from a single integrated package, without the need to separately install and maintain databases and web servers.
Available for various Linux platforms, as a Marketplace image for AWS and Azure, as a container image for Docker, and as a virtual or physical appliance.
Checkmk's auto-discovery detects your hosts and services for you – effortlessly configure your monitoring with all relevant metrics and thresholds.
Integrate your data: Combine the benefits of agent-based monitoring with those of agentless monitoring via HTTP or SNMP – or connect Checkmk to different applications via APIs.
Configure everything in a web interface. Fast, easy, and less prone to error.
Apply your existing role-based access controls (LDAP, AD) to a fine-grained permission model for user and group actions.
Ready for powerful hybrid IT monitoring: Over 2,000+ maintained plug-ins collect metrics from your systems across heterogeneous IT infrastructures.
Checkmk covers not only the most important use cases in the cloud, but also most on-premises systems thanks to its unique plug-in collection – for powerful hybrid IT monitoring.
Benefit from actively maintained, regularly updated plug-ins that keep up with your software and hardware changes.
There are additional plug-ins shared by our community in the Checkmk Exchange to complement our native plug-ins.
Scale monitoring with a performant distributed architecture: Easily monitor thousands of services with one monitoring instance, eliminating the need to maintain and synchronize multiple monitoring instances in a single data center.
Scale across hundreds of sites and millions of devices. Build a world-wide distributed monitoring network, achieving a scale that is hard to find in monitoring systems.
Leverage highly efficient, self-contained agents with minimal CPU, RAM and storage utilization. They run on even the smallest servers, without the need for DLLs or libraries.
Modern monitoring concepts for cloud and on-premises: Ingest data with high enough granularity to handle IT architectures of all kinds – traditional environments and container orchestration platforms included.
Sample in real-time, with measurement intervals as short as 1 second.
Take advantage of special features such as host lifecycle management and auto-registration to automatically map ephemeral hosts and workloads in dynamic cloud and microservice environments in monitoring.
Identify problems in your IT with a meaningful status ("OK", "WARN", "CRIT") for each monitored component or system
Analyze the state of your IT systems with just a few clicks and view the health of your IT in the right context with Checkmk.
Map application dependencies in an overview and monitor complex systems at a glance.
Tag your data by hand or auto-discover tags and labels to provide relevant context to help you filter
Visualize your data with modern, customizable dashboards: Get full visibility on the state of your IT, thanks to Checkmk's modern and customizable dashboards.
Out-of-the-box dashboards provide key metrics for AWS and Azure cloud environments, Linux and Windows servers, and Kubernetes clusters.
Leverage graphic maps and diagrams with live monitoring data.
Analyze time-series metrics over long time horizons with interactive HTML5 graphs.
Customize dashboards and views to your specific needs with different dashboard elements to visualize your most important metrics.
Compare metrics across multiple graphs at a glance.
Custom dashboards and views for users or user groups, e.g. vSphere specific views for VMware admins.
Customize the side menu according to your preferences: add snap-ins for your most important monitoring information, as well as links to access to your most relevant functions or reports.
