Are you using Checkmk?
Spotsaas Editor’s POV
Checkmk's strength lies in its prebuilt monitoring plugins—the library covers standard infrastructure checks (CPU, memory, disk, network interfaces) without requiring custom code for common scenarios. Before shortlisting, verify that the plugins cover your specific hardware and software stack; if you run niche applications or legacy systems, test the plugin ...Read more

"A very agile monitoring solution"
What do you like best about checkmk? The whole Check_MK environment has a very mature, stable foundation of supported checks and performance counters. Yet it grows almost on a daily basis. Support for new systems is being implemented very often and if you are willing to request it yourself, you can have it included in the core distribution in very little time. This agility really has no match among the larger competitors.

"Fantastic experience"
What do you like best about checkmk? My favorite part of the software is the automatic discovery. This allows us to add hundreds of servers at a time without having to manage each of them separately.

"A complete IT systems monitoring suite"
What do you like best about checkmk? The automatic service discovery (agent and SNMP based) detects nearly all necessary checks for a host. The web GUI makes it easy to use and the API provides automation, but still text config files are there and no database is required. Convenient for users of all experience levels.

"A monitoring underdog"
What do you like best about checkmk? Check_MK has done a really amazing job at making the information you need easily accessible and with good readability. As we have used many monitoring systems over the years, both before check_mk and after, we always value the ability to access information and understand what we are seeing. Many monitoring system that focus on the visualization of data seem to over do it and while it may be fancy it is still complicated. In the reverse of that several ...
