The licensing was confusing at first. You are correct. The Raw version didn’t say anything about unlimited but it is. CheckMK Raw is open source and self hosted. CheckMK itself is different than Raw. It is free for 25 hosts after 30 day trial.

Nice, thanks. I tried the free/enterprise appliance and it was able to talk to my single esxi host (no central vCenter). Looks like there's no raw version for the appliance so I'll probably redo things using the docker version so I can get onto the raw. Adding hosts initially wasn't intuitive, but your video was very helpful in figuring things out.

Nagios/CheckMK/Opsview/etc are OK. Zabbix really opened my eyes with how much better their detection and trigger system is.
@TotiTolvukall
@TotiTolvukall Год назад
I use zabbix as well, professionzlly and personally - in addition to Nagios. Nagios is on a cluster we run and zabbix is for everything else. My main take is that nagios is "flashier" than zabbix - but in the end of the day, zabbix is more usable.

Nice video, I remember you mentioning HashiCorp Vault in one of your videos. Do you use it in your homelab? If so, would you ever make a video about it? There actually aren't that many videos about how to configure it on docker
@wylde780
@wylde780 Год назад
Vault integrates directly with Zabbix, which is a better monitoring solution IMHO and they do not need to have an Enterprise edition
@seths1997
@seths1997 Год назад
Checkmk is based on nagios - which I've been using for some 15+ years and am happy with. nice though they have a container. tried nagios xi but found that i worked better editing config files manually after being so used to core
@computerdave06
@computerdave06 Год назад
We moved to XI from core some 8-10 years ago and have been happy with it, we like that it bundles the graphing backend and the web frontend into one. plus the plugins are really helpful in getting new monitors setup quickly.

@bobsodman5274
@bobsodman5274 Год назад
@8:06 You should mention adding an explicit host argument otherwise this rule will apply to all hosts you attempt to add. Took me a day of troubleshooting to figure out what was wrong.

@screamingiraffe

Enjoyed the video but seems to be missing the DB store component. Monitoring systems need to store the data somewhere which includes storage maintenance. A very key component to any monitoring server/service. Perhaps this concern is outside the scope of the video, but I felt that it should have been covered at least briefly

Check_mk is just an overlay for nagios. You can also simply run standard nagios as well. Personally i think icinga2 is much nicer as it's got all the same capabilities under the hood but seems to be much less resource intensive than check_mk, nagios, and nagios xi.

good one but it would be good if you touch about alerts!!! does it have an option to integrate slack/telegram for any event triggered in raw version?
@eliasvoelker2314
@eliasvoelker2314 Год назад
Yes, it does. Some notification options are Enterprise one (Service Now, JIRA), but Slack and Telegram are available in Raw

Does your microphone need physical isolation? I notice a constant thumping/ banging during your videos. I like your videos, but find this noise difficult tip deal with
@truthsayer9534
@truthsayer9534 Год назад
It sounds like you are banging on your microphone or desk about every ten seconds. It’s a deep thud. Kind of distracting. Otherwise, very interesting video.

checkmk not free at all there is limitation if you are using free version, zabbix still the best for open source monitoring tools.
@Elijah2807
@Elijah2807 Год назад
He explains the difference in the video. There’s Raw (completely free and unlimited) and the free tier of the Enterprise version (limited to 25 hosts on one site)
@kpwlek
@kpwlek Год назад
yeah.... no... problem with all these "free" stuff as per monitoring is that at some point they run so slow that you simply cannot use them... free nagios to paid nagios zabbix zenoss etc etc... networkchuck channel recently released some umma kama something, sorry do not remember the name which supposed to monitor the network... From what I see, and I have built gazillion of these, prometheus grafana slack and opsgenie is go to option dockerised prom and grafana of course... + some ansible automation to deploy all that... Great video though :) hmm: ### STARTING XINETD * Starting internet superserver xinetd [ OK ] ### STARTING SITE Temporary filesystem already mounted Starting agent-receiver...OK Starting mkeventd...OK Starting rrdcached...OK Starting npcd...OK Starting nagios...OK
@Elijah2807
@Elijah2807 Год назад
That point is pretty far out with Checkmk Raw. At some point it’ll fold, but we’re talking thousands of devices monitored. Just read a post on the Checkmk forum the other day of a guy monitoring 2000 hosts on one Checkmk Raw site. Let me see if I can dig up the link

@wylde780

Did you get a chance to compare CheckMK against Zabbix by chance? It has zero limitations and has the same functionality for users with and without support agreements.
@peacockbro
@peacockbro Год назад
Nice and interesting video about Checkmk. I worked with this solution for quite a while and I agree that it's easy to to setup and get some quick results. But if you're dealing with bigger environments, then the command line has to be your friend. A very interesting free solution, which I like better, is Zabbix. Please have a look and make a comparison, I'd be interested, if you agree.
@2Fast4Mellow
@2Fast4Mellow Год назад
Your stating that Checkmk is the best monitoring, but provide not a single argument how it is better than for example Zabbix...
@Samzehboy
@Samzehboy Год назад
In my opinion CMK is more flexible than Zabbix and has a lot more plugins/checks out of the box. Also the integrations with InfluxDB/Grafana and ntopng are a great plus. When using the cee (Enterprise edition) or cme (Managed Services edition) it comes with it's own core CMC (Checkmk Micro Core) which is a lot faster then the nagios backend.
