Hyper-V VM Checkpoints

Included in	All Checkmk editions
Source Code License	Open Source
Supported Agents	Windows

This check monitors the checkpoints (snapshots) of virtual machines running on a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster.

The check queries a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster via an agent plug-in and reports the status and age of VM checkpoints. It monitors checkpoint creation dates and can alert when checkpoints become too old, which may indicate maintenance issues or potential storage concerns.

The check tracks both the newest and oldest checkpoints, providing visibility into checkpoint management practices. It calculates the age of checkpoints from their creation timestamp and compares against configurable thresholds.

Item

No item is used. This check monitors all checkpoints for the VM as a single service.

Discovery
