Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

With this release we publish the second feature pack of Checkmk. The idea behind the feature packs is that we can make selected features of the next stable release available to users of the current stable release much earlier. This allows features to be used and improved earlier.

These features are delivered as optional features. They are included in our software as MKP packages which can be installed manually.

This feature pack contains these features:

  • Prometheus integration (https://checkmk.com/cms_monitoring_prometheus.html)
  • RabbitMQ special agent and checks (#10938)
  • Couchbase special agent and checks (#10158, #10159, #10160, ...)
  • Pulse Secure Appliance health monitoring (#10956)
  • Redis database agent plugin and checks (#10574, #10643, #10758, #10761)
  • New notification plugin for Cisco Webex Teams (#10909)
  • Cisco ASA WebVPN and IPsec sessions (#10355)
  • Fortigate SSL VPN GUI configurable thresholds (#10951)

To install these features, you first need to install 1.6.0p12 or newer. Users of the Enterprise Edition can then open "Configuration > Extension Packages" and select the package of your choice to be installed. From this point it behaves just like any other MKP you have installed.

Users of the Raw Edition need to use the command line interface to install these packages. For example: mkp install share/check_mk/optional_packages/cisco_asa_sessions-1.0.mkp.

For details on how to use the new checks, please have a look at the manpages of the checks.
