FAQ
Yes. The number of Checkmk instances used for configuring your monitoring is completely unrestricted. The total number of monitored services is used to determine the subscription size.
Yes. Checkmk Pro has no limit on how many servers you can monitor. The pricing is not based on the number of servers you monitor – rather, the total number of monitored services is used to determine your subscription size. Find out more about our pricing.
No. The price is determined solely by the total number of monitored services.
For a typical data center you can expect to have around 30-70 services per host. But naturally it makes a difference if you, e.g. monitor a switch only with PING, or a database server with 50 Oracle instances. Try out our services calculator.
The number of productive monitored services is used to determine the appropriate subscription level. This number can be found in the top right of the Checkmk interface's Tactical Overview.
If it is the case that you operate Checkmk redundantly in a HA-cluster, the services will not be double-counted. Test systems for evaluating Checkmk versions, etc., are also not counted.
If multiple Checkmk instances are in use, then the sum of the services over all the instances in your business is used to determine the subscription level.
Standalone or single HA-Cluster: in your monitoring site, under the host on which your site is running, you can find a service 'OMD MYSITE performance', which has a graph tracking the number of monitored hosts and services. Alternatively, you can search for 'OMD' in the quicksearch to find this service. If the agent on the Checkmk server is older than version 1.2.8. the history of the number of services has to be assumed from the "Check Performance" graph.
Distributed Monitoring: the graph already mentioned is available for each site. You can add these graphs to a shared, custom graph to get the total number of services over all sites, and then summarize these.
You can test Checkmk Pro by installing the Checkmk Pro trial.
The trial is a full-fledged and unlimited version of Checkmk Ultimate. You can use all features, and monitor as many services as you need. The trial is valid for 30 days.
The trial expires after 30 days, at which point your site can either be licensed as a paid subscription, or you can continue using it for free for as long as you want. In the free state, your site will be limited to 750 services and one site.
You need the license option "Managed Services Use" whenever you monitor IT infrastructure that you operate for or provide to a "third party". A "third party" is a company that is not legally part of your company, i.e. it is not an affiliated company, shareholder, or have other similar interests. The third party is simply a customer.
It is irrelevant whether the third party itself uses the software or whether you use it only internally, for example, to ensure your own service level agreements towards this customer.
It is also irrelevant who owns the infrastructure and whether this infrastructure is located in your data center or in that of your customer.
Please contact sales, if you have questions regarding "Managed Services Use".
