Munich, November 7, 2024 – At yesterday’s Partner Day at Motorworld Munich, Checkmk provided around 125 attendees with an exclusive preview of its upcoming IT monitoring platform, Checkmk 2.4, scheduled for release in the first half of 2025. In addition to technical updates, the event emphasized direct partner engagement and meaningful personal exchanges.
Presentations and live demos showcased Checkmk 2.4, inviting discussion on new capabilities and applications. “With Checkmk 2.4, we’re setting the stage for further growth alongside our partners, whose customer support and insights are crucial to our success. Open communication is key to our partnerships, and, as with every release, Checkmk 2.4 reflects our partners’ valuable input and feedback,” said Richard Rinkenburger, VP Sales EMEA.
More business potential with new features
Key highlights included the Quick Setup and an enhanced Notification System, designed to increase flexibility and simplify the monitoring of complex IT landscapes. The Quick Setup leverages a new UI framework, significantly streamlining complex configuration workflows, as demonstrated in a live setup of AWS monitoring. The updated Notification Hub in Checkmk 2.4 will offer users the choice between a Guided Mode and an Overview Mode, allowing tailored support when setting up notifications.
Another standout feature was the new Distributed Tracing for root-cause performance analysis, which will be exclusively available to Checkmk consultants and trained partners. Partners also got a first look at enhancements in Synthetic Monitoring, improved remote site communication, Dynamic Host Management, the Linux Agent’s Non-Root mode, and the new Checkmk Cloud (SaaS) features.
Networking and connection-building were central, with a Motorworld tour featuring legendary cars from Ferrari, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Elvis Presley’s iconic white BMW 507.

The day concluded with the Partner Awards, where ITeratio GmbH, an IT service provider, claimed three top honors: “Partner of the Year,” “Deal of the Year,” and “Top Business Builder.” Recognized again as “Top Community Partners” for their outstanding contributions were Robert Sander of Heinlein Consulting GmbH, Andreas Döhler and André Eckstein of Bechtle GmbH, and Gerd Stolz of SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH. “Our partners’ dedication is invaluable, driving customer satisfaction and fueling our success,” summarized Oliver Dreier, Global Partner Manager at Checkmk.
