An easy to set-up holistic network monitoring software

Your whole business depends on an efficiently-functioning network infrastructure. However, even networks in small companies can get hugely complicated over time and it is easy to lose the overview and have difficulty keeping an eye on everything. A good network monitoring software can help to handle this issues.

Checkmk as a network monitoring tool can help you quickly monitor your entire network and it doesn’t cover only the major devices, but also a broad range of vendors — even those outside the mainstream. And this all without complicated configurations and endless alarms. With a few clicks, you will be able with this network monitoring tool to monitor all your network devices, e.g.:

• Switches & Routers — Monitor packet rates, error rates, the state and bandwidth of ports, error rates, CPU utilization, fans, power supply, temperature and more. Supported devices for network monitoring include, e.g. Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Brocade, Dell, Enterasys, Extreme Networks, Huawei, Intel, Juniper, TP-Link.
• Wireless — Also monitor your wireless networks, e.g. state of access points, signal strength and connected devices for Aerohive, Aruba Networks, CBL, MikroTik, Netgear, Fritz!Box, etc., devices.
• Firewalls — Ensure the security of your network by monitoring the health, VPN tunnel state, high availability state and more of your BlueCat, Checkpoint, F5, FireEye, FortiGate, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, etc., devices.

Ultra efficient network monitoring

Checkmk uses a rules-based concept for configuring your network monitoring. This becomes especially powerful when monitoring a large number of similar devices, in contrast to a template-based approach, in which you need to configure each ‘sensor’.

With just a couple of rules you can configure your entire network monitoring, e.g. monitoring only the error rate for access ports. Routers and switches can have several hundred SNMP messages – it is important to monitor only what really matters. Checkmk knows what data matters, and filters the data for you so that you get to see the data you actually need in your network monitoring.

For small networks and ISPs

Checkmk comes with more than 1,800 preconfigured checks and it is highly likely that it can monitor any switch, router or firewall you may have.

You can monitor the network interfaces of low-end switches with just a couple of ports. But you can also monitor huge core switches with several hundred ports or the devices powering the internet — monitor BGP sessions, routing engines, fans, memory, file systems and more for your BGP routers.

Network flow monitoring

In addition to comprehensive network monitoring, the Checkmk Enterprise Edition starting from version 2.0 optionally supports monitoring of network flows. Checkmk is able to integrate network flow data provided by ntop and allows you to get an even more detailed monitoring of your network. You can analyse your network traffic in-depth without having to leave the Checkmk interface.

By analyzing flow data, you can learn which hosts, applications, or protocols are communicating with each other. This allows you to break down network usage per host, destination address, protocol, or application to see what the top talkers and top listeners are on your network. In addition, network flow monitoring helps you detect bottlenecks or anomalies in your network infrastructure.

With Checkmk you have all the data in your Checkmk main dashboard. Checkmk gets all the information from ntop. Furthermore, you can view all flow information and analyze all flow-specific alarms via the alert dashboard. In addition, the flow data provides you with supplementary information on each host, such as traffic packets, ports, peers and applications.

Understanding switch port usage

Have you ever stood in front of a switch and wondered which ports are actually being used, and which not, or that someone hasn’t simply removed a cable? Have you ever unplugged your CEO from the internet because the port looked as if it was not in use, but he was in fact just on a business trip?

Checkmk combines real-time data and historic data in its network monitoring to understand which of a switch’s ports are in use. With the switch port statistics feature, you can see immediately which port is up/down/free, the speed, whether it is currently being used, and the last time when it was in use.

VPN and remote workplace monitoring

Avoid capacity bottlenecks, bandwidth and performance issues, or configuration errors from slowing down your VPN and remote workplace architecture. This is the only way to ensure that your employees can easily access the tools and applications they need from home or wherever they work.

With Checkmk as your network monitoring software you are able to monitor the status and the number of your active VPN tunnels and the number of bytes being transferred via VPN, so that you can detect problems early and guarantee secure remote access to your company infrastructure at any time.

Prevent your VPN gateway from becoming a bottleneck in your remote architecture by easily monitoring device CPU usage with Checkmk. In this way Checkmk helps you to react to possible bottlenecks at an early stage.

With remote workplaces it is useful to monitor several parameters simultaneously to ensure smooth operation. Here, too, you should always keep an eye on the performance utilization of your gateway. Checkmk also helps you to keep an eye on the resource capacities of your virtual platform. Only if sufficient CPU, RAM or Storage IO are available, can a smooth operation and a possible scaling of the virtual workstations be guaranteed.

Applications

Detect scalability issues, resource hogs, and other performance-related issues and fix them proactively.

In-depth, scalable application monitoring

Ensure maximum productivity for the people using your applications. Make sure your applications are always running at maximum performance. Say goodbye to preventable outages, late nights or weekend emergencies.

• Increase the availability of your applications and application servers
• Identify the root cause of issues with in-depth component monitoring

  An all-in-one application monitoring software

The people in your organization rely on applications to do their daily job. Monitoring these desktop applications or web apps is key to ensure that the business you are responsible for keeps running smoothly.

Checkmk provides this flexibility through its large collection of 1,800+ plug-ins. Here are some examples of applications which can be monitored with Checkmk:

• Web application monitoring — Directly monitor the technology used by your web application, e.g. Apache, nginx, HAProxy, not only externally by HTTP/S (also possible).
• Middleware monitoring — Ensure high performance of your application servers by monitoring middleware like JBoss, Oracle WebLogic, Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere. Identify the source of issues by monitoring components required to run your application.
• Business application monitoring — Smooth operation of your business depends on applications like Active Directory, SAP or MS Office. Monitor these business critical applications with Checkmk, so that issues can be detected immediately.
• Communication application monitoring — Your email, cloud, and CMS systems need to work 24/7 — not only during business hours. Monitoring, if these applications are alive is not sufficient. Monitor applications directly to detect performance bottlenecks early on.
• Security application monitoring — Ensure security of your system and compliance with security norms like ISO 27001 with Checkmk. Get alarms if your anti-virus software is not running or the newest virus signatures are not available on a system.
• Cloud & container application monitoring — Checkmk supports monitoring of major cloud services providers like AWS or MS Azure as well as the monitoring of Docker containers and Kubernetes.

Increasing the availability of your applications

Keep applications and application servers online longer by detecting and fixing potential problems at an early stage. Preventive monitoring is only possible if you monitor your applications comprehensively. Only by monitoring the availability and status of the individual components of an application can high availability be achieved in the first place.

Checkmk’s comprehensive monitoring of the applications and the associated components provides a basis for keeping an eye not only on the overall state, but also on the partial states if required.

No special application knowledge of a monitoring administrator is necessary, since Checkmk almost always provides default threshold values for generating alerts.

As an application monitoring tool Checkmk offers many off-the-shelf integrations for typical applications such as nginx, Microsoft Exchange, salesforce, Veeam or SAP HANA.

Preventing scaling issues with application monitoring

Application monitoring helps you to better estimate the current and future resource requirements of applications. Identify unused resources as well as future bottlenecks in resources at an early stage using the metrics from the applications.

Applications that only require a small number of resources can be isolated. Long-term monitoring of the applications also allows you to understand larger patterns (e.g. only seasonal high utilization of web servers).

Checkmk offers comprehensive methods for retrospectively assessing the scaling needs of application servers, and has methods for efficient long-term data storage.

This also ultimately helps you to reduce the TCO (total cost of ownership) of your IT!

Application monitoring tool comes with root-cause analysis

In the end, what matters is that an application’s user can do their job, even if it is only a ‘simple’ thing like sending an email. But finding the cause for your mail system being down can be cumbersome and difficult. In such a stressful situation, you need a application monitoring tool with root-cause analysis capabilities, which can show you immediately where the problem has originated.

Checkmk allows you to model dependencies and create logical application groups, and visualize them with its Business Intelligence feature to perform such a root-cause analysis. You can also simulate what happens when a component of the application fails.

In this way potential performance or availability problems can be identified before they occur.

Prometheus monitoring: Close the gap

If you already monitor your container environments with Prometheus, you have the problem that you cannot collect information about the underlying IT infrastructure. Therefore integrate your Prometheus monitoring system into Checkmk to monitor your IT infrastructure and fast moving container environments with one platform. Instead of having to check two monitoring systems, Checkmk allows you to correlate the data from both systems. Among other things, this facilitates a possible analysis of errors and their causes.

From version 1.6.0p12 on Checkmk enables the integration of the most important Prometheus exporters cAdvisor (Container Advisor), node_exporter and kube-state-metrics. It also offers the possibility to set up any metrics from Prometheus via a query in PromQL itself.

Through the integration in Checkmk the metrics from your Prometheus monitoring automatically get a meaningful context. For example, if Prometheus displays the amount of used memory correctly, you can use Checkmk to automatically see how much of the total available memory is used – without having to take any manual steps. The example shows that Checkmk can make your work easier already on a simple level and helps to close the gap between container monitoring with Prometheus and monitoring your IT infrastructure.

Storage

Monitor the hardware and software aspects of your storage systems to manage capacity and respond to failures.

Storage Monitoring with Checkmk

• Set up dynamic alerts for when file systems grow unusually fast
• Get detailed performance graphs

Some of the vendors Checkmk support

Monitor HDDs, SSDs, NVMes and file systems

Monitor all your storage devices locally via native interfaces using the Checkmk agent and plug-ins. This provides S.M.A.R.T. throughput and usage values for the devices monitored. If the threshold values do not meet your requirements, you can easily configure your own standard values and exceptions.

Checkmk integrates Linux, Windows, ESXi, ZFS, Btrfs and many others, to intelligently monitor file systems and storage devices.

Use Checkmk to:

• Summarize storage performance values or keep an eye on each one individually
• Dynamically assign threshold values, based on file system size (magic factor)
• Display trends and define thresholds
• Include / exclude from monitoring different file system types

Checkmk’s rule-based system enables you to quickly define your own default configuration for monitoring new storage devices and file systems, without having to reconfigure them individually.

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

In addition to local storage devices, Checkmk also allows you to monitor all common file systems which are connected over the network. In this way you can monitor shares under Windows (Samba) or Linux (NFS), even if you do not have access to the servers that provide the shares.

You can also set up your NAS appliance, such as the Hitachi Network Attached Storage Platform, or storage solutions such as Synology and QNAP – via SNMP or another data source – and so keep track of all of your appliance hardware.

SANs, Storage Appliances, SDS and more

With Checkmk you can monitor all common storage providers without installing any additional extensions. Through the Checkmk agent you can directly monitor access to classic SAN systems without needing other plug-ins.

Performance analysis becomes easier, since all of your storage devices’ component metrics are being monitored in the same place. Checkmk also enables the monitoring of modern storage accesses and concepts:

• File systems provided by Ceph or ScaleIO have the same monitoring feature scope as other local file systems
• Other storage concepts, such as S3, are considered in detail in Checkmk and the check is adapted accordingly
