Checkmk in IDA: the alert becomes a ticket

Monitoring alerts - somebody has to react. IDA fetches the host states from Checkmk and turns an alert into a ticket at the right customer with one click, complete with an SLA deadline and an owner.

What IDA reads from Checkmk

  • Hosts and their states
  • The mapping from hosts to customers
  • Open problems and acknowledgements

What IDA does with it

  • A monitoring widget on the dashboard, filtered by customer
  • An alert becomes a ticket - with customer, device and SLA deadline
  • The on-call glance replaces the second browser window somebody keeps open

Who it is for

Service providers monitoring customer infrastructure with Checkmk who want to follow alerts as tickets.

Setup: Store the Checkmk site and its API access; hosts are then mapped to customers.

Every integration in IDA has its own switch. Turn it off and it disappears completely - including the columns, filters and reports that belong to it. You only see what you actually use.

Vendor website: Checkmk. Checkmk is a trademark of its respective owner; IDA connects to the system technically, which implies no partnership.
