Conference Agenda

Seize the chance to engage with our developers and consultants before the day’s first presentation. Enjoy a breakfast of light bites while exploring various booths at the conference venue, where you can ask the Checkmk team your specific questions. Take advantage of this opportunity to connect with the community and set the tone for an amazing day.

This talk introduces a beginner-friendly Checkmk extension designed to simplify the development process with a clean, reusable structure. Through hands-on examples and AI-assisted workflows, attendees will learn how to create their own extensions more efficiently. It’s an ideal talk for newcomers or anyone seeking a more approachable path into Checkmk extension development.

Anyone who has ever debugged mysterious issues in complex networking environments can tell you: It's always DNS... unless it isn't. When operating IT infrastructure at any scale, automation is essential, but automated configuration can bring with it new challenges. Learn how to dynamically monitor DNS to quickly and decisively find issues before they become problems.

Discover how Kabelplus, a leading Austrian cable network operator and multimedia service provider, customized Checkmk to elevate their monitoring. This talk highlights key improvements, such as alerting, localized problem detection, and automated host provisioning with geographical visualization in Nagvis—strategies designed to provide maximum transparency for support teams.

We'll walk through the necessary extensions, share practical solutions, and discuss challenges faced during implementation. One key example involves managing network interfaces with service labels, which led to around 20,000 labels. The presentation will demonstrate how this was successfully addressed and offer valuable takeaways for similar projects.

Robotmk meets Smart City #1 – how Synthetic Monitoring ensures service availability! In this talk, the City of Munich will share its experience of transitioning to Robotmk for availability monitoring. Gain insights into daily workflows with Robotmk and the Robot Framework, and learn about the objectives that the city's IT department aims to accomplish with this Checkmk product add-on.

Discover how to integrate a custom notification channel into Checkmk – and why you might need to. This talk delves into creating an extension package (MKP) for notifications, showcases two-way status updates, and highlights practical, real-world use cases.

In this presentation, we will show the new features added to Synthetic Monitoring in Checkmk 2.4, including Linux support, monitoring of KPI keywords and an internal Checkmk Robot management, which significantly improves the configuration of test clients.

In addition, there is now support for offline provisioning of Python environments. We will also be presenting the revised pricing model, which makes Synthetic Monitoring more accessible and scalable than ever before.

In this talk, Simon gives a practical look at how LGB (Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg) uses Robotmk to run Synthetic Tests against their map applications – and highlight a few areas where Robot Framework really shines.

This real-world example shows how Checkmk Synthetic Monitoring can deliver meaningful insights, uncover hidden issues, and become a valuable part of daily operations – without being overly complex.
