[H2] How Checkmk works

Turn monitoring insights into actionable intelligence.
Checkmk becomes your single source of truth for full-stack visibility across infrastructure, applications, and end-user experience.
With out-of-the-box integrations to tools like ServiceNow, Jira, Slack and flexible APIs, Checkmk embeds monitoring intelligence into the tools your teams already use, pushing context to AI agents and orchestrating automated workflows that resolve incidents fast.

Pinpoint and fix issues fast.
Pre-built dashboards, advanced analytics and SLA reports give you real-time visibility.
Dependency mapping tracks the health of business services to their underlying components.
AI-powered root cause analysis tells you exactly why something is wrong, so your teams spend less time guessing and more time fixing.

Handle enterprise scale without the complexity.
Raw data gets structured and processed through a storage backend that can manage hundreds of global sites from a single location.
Built-in multi-tenancy keeps data strictly segregated across departments or clients, supporting security and compliance.

Monitor everything across your entire hybrid landscape from a single platform.
Checkmk's automated discovery finds and connects to every host and service across your environment, covering servers, networks, storage, cloud workloads, containers, and applications through one of the largest integration catalogs in the market.
Data collection is flexible by design with standard, agentless or agent-based methods with centralized management via the Agent Bakery.

Checkmk uses three pricing units, each tied to a specific capability:

Services: the pricing unit for Infrastructure Monitoring. A service is any individual aspect of a host — for example, a file system, a hardware sensor, a switch port, or a specific metric like CPU usage.
Custom metrics: the pricing unit for Application Observability. A custom metric is a unique data series ingested via the OpenTelemetry collector — for example, a request latency metric tagged by endpoint and region.
Synthetic tests: the pricing unit for Synthetic Monitoring. A synthetic test is a single, automated check that simulates a user action like a login, checkout, or API call. Each test includes up to 5 individual ‘KPI keywords’ to measure individual steps in a test.

Pricing scales with the count of these units, with no per-host fees or hidden costs. We use hosts as an approximate sizing reference. On average, there are 30 services per host.

Infrastructure Monitoring is priced by the number of services you monitor. A service is any individual aspect of a host — for example, a file system, a hardware sensor, a switch port, or a specific metric like CPU usage. Subscriptions are sized by service count, with no additional charges or restrictions beyond that number.

We believe services are the fairest pricing metric: a Wi-Fi access point has far fewer aspects worth monitoring than a database server, and should cost less to monitor accordingly.

Hosts have around 30 services each on average. A database server or core switch may have many more, while a simple network device may have far fewer. Use our service calculator to estimate the right size for your environment.

For Infrastructure Monitoring, Checkmk prices by service rather than by host because hosts vary enormously in monitoring complexity. A core switch or database server has dozens of meaningful aspects to monitor; a Wi-Fi access point has only a few. Per-host pricing charges the same for both, regardless of how much is actually being monitored. Service-based pric
