With Checkmk we can provide real-time insight. Among other things, we can combine inventory and status data in a single view and show the customer exactly how his applications are performing.
Hosts have approximately 30 services each, on average. However, a database host or a core switch may have a much larger number of services. A service may be anything – for example, a file system, a hardware sensor, or a switch port – but it may also just be a specific metric, such as CPU usage. Check out our service calculator.
We believe that services are the fairest metric to calculate pricing: a Wi-Fi access point has far fewer aspects requiring monitoring than, say, a database server. So it should also cost less to monitor.
You can use your license in as many sites as you want, as long as the total number of services monitored remains within your subscription limits.
The number of services shown in licensing is the sum of all services minus the number of all shadow or excluded services.
No, there are no ‘hard limits’ built into our license management. An expired license will not affect your current monitoring configuration. However, 60 days after license expiry, while you can continue monitoring, you no longer will be able to activate changes.
There are no pop-ups or other messaging built into Checkmk that will alert you or stop you from monitoring more services than included in your subscription. However, if you do exceed your subscription, you will be required to retroactively adjust your subscription at the time of renewal, resulting in additional charges. You can always keep track of the number of services you are monitoring at Setup > Maintenance > Licensing > License usage.
Your monitoring will always stay intact, even if you keep a site running past your subscription expiration date. However, 60 days past your expiration date, you will no longer be able to activate any changes.
