Checkmk can monitor servers, databases, applications, and other IT systems through checks, agents, and network protocols. Its Python-based checks and web interface collect, analyze, and display performance and health data.
Can Checkmk monitor both Windows and Linux servers?
Yes, Checkmk can use monitoring agents for operating systems such as Windows and Linux. It can also monitor network equipment through SNMP, so servers and switches can appear in the same monitoring system.
What is the difference between Checkmk Raw and Checkmk Enterprise?
Checkmk Raw is the open-source edition, while Checkmk Enterprise editions add commercial features and support. The right choice depends on whether you need only the open-source monitoring core or vendor-backed tools for a larger environment.
