Introducing a versatile Nagios-plugin that efficiently retrieves data for varied purposes.
Check_mk is a powerful software that offers an innovative approach to collecting data from operating systems and network components. It replaces NRPE, check_by_ssh, NSClient, and check_snmp, giving users even more reliable and efficient options to gather information.
For larger Nagios installations, the importance of these benefits cannot be overstated. With check_mk, users can exceed 20,000 checks per minute, enabling them to monitor complex environments with ease.
The data retrieval process consists of four simple steps. First, Nagios triggers an active check per check interval for each host. This check then calls check_mk as a plugin. Second, check_mk connects to the target host via TCP, where the check_mk_agent retrieves all relevant data about that host and sends it back as ASCII text. Third, check_mk extracts performance data and directly inserts it into round-robin databases. Finally, check_mk extracts relevant data, compares it against warning and critical levels, and submits all check results of this host via Nagios' passive service checks.
Overall, check_mk provides a comprehensive, efficient and user-friendly solution for monitoring complex systems, making it an essential tool for IT professionals worldwide.
