Checkmk and Xurrent partner to keep the CMDB current with live monitoring data

Munich, June 9, 2026 – Checkmk, a leading provider of hybrid IT monitoring and observability, today announced a technical integration with Xurrent, vendor of an AI-powered service and operations management platform for corporate IT teams and enterprise MSPs. The new Checkmk app for Xurrent automatically synchronizes hosts and inventory data discovered by Checkmk into the Xurrent CMDB — closing the gap between what is actually running in the environment and what service teams see when an incident hits.
A live CMDB, fed by what monitoring already knows
CMDBs decay the moment they go live. Hosts get spun up, retired, re-IP’d, or migrated between clouds without anyone updating the record of truth. Monitoring tools, on the other hand, know about every device in real time — that is their job. The Xurrent–Checkmk integration treats Checkmk as an authoritative discovery source for the configuration items that matter to service operations: physical servers, virtual machines, network devices, and cloud workloads. Once installed from the Xurrent App Store and configured with a Checkmk site, the app pulls hosts and granular inventory details into Xurrent on a continuous schedule, creating or updating configuration items automatically and reporting back execution status and any errors for review.
The result is a CMDB that reflects reality without manual upkeep, and a service desk that opens every ticket with accurate context about the asset involved.
Service management is only as good as the data underneath it. When a major incident lands and the on-call engineer is staring at a CI record that hasn’t been touched in nine months, the CMDB is actively making things worse. Checkmk continuously maintains a live view across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure — including segmented networks. By bringing that near real-time visibility into Xurrent, this integration allows our joint customers to stop hand-curating asset records and start trusting them.
Key benefits for joint customers
- Automated, scheduled synchronization of Checkmk hosts and inventory into the Xurrent CMDB, including operating system versions and hardware specifications.
- Configuration items created and updated without manual intervention, with clear execution output and error reporting
- Tighter incident-to-asset context — service desk and on-call teams see the same ground truth that monitoring sees.
- Faster, more reliable automation downstream: change management, problem management, and impact analysis built on data that’s actually current.
- Coverage spanning physical, virtual, and cloud environments and remote sites, including segmented networks that Checkmk reaches via its agents and relays.
Checkmk’s automated discovery acts as a single source of truth across hybrid IT — from legacy data center estates to modern cloud-native workloads. Embedding that intelligence directly into the Xurrent CMDB is exactly the kind of integration our customers ask for: monitoring data showing up in the tools their service and operations teams already use, without another silo to maintain. Together with Xurrent, we’re shortening the path from a monitoring alert to incident resolution.
This partnership reflects a broader shift in how modern IT organizations think about the CMDB: less as a periodically-audited database, more as a continuously-refreshed reflection of the live estate, fed by the systems that already have authoritative visibility. For Xurrent customers running Checkmk — and for Checkmk customers looking to extend their monitoring investment into service and operations workflows — the integration removes one of the most persistent friction points in ITSM.
The Checkmk app is available now in the Xurrent App Store. Installation and configuration guidance is published at xurrent.com/help/CheckMK-cmdb.
