CheckMk is a monitor app, that similar to Nagios, but much better. It simple to setup, and works with agent discover services, hardware, and you can uses add-ons for apps.
I've been using CheckMk for twelve years, back when it started as a plugin for Nagios, and you had to fight to get pnp4nagios, and rrdtools to work. Now, ODM so simple. I can't express how simple it is. When I can, I select CheckMk over NagiosXI.
I am going to redo this video, I was setup CheckMk Raw, the community edition. If you noticed that my video a bit off, I recorded on my OragePi 5 Plus ( 32 GB ), using OSB on OrangeOS. I like to do a version with a bit more graphics.
You can download a free version that limited. I don't mind using the community edition, because I am hoping to give back. That why I do UglyScale Press.

In the weeks to come, I will follow up with a web blog, and I am going to so some one offs, showing how to setup plugins and some tips and tricks. I am am also planning to show different monitoring apps.
I hope this video helps. It's helped me.
