Conference Agenda

Take the opportunity to talk to our developers and consultants before the first presentation of the day. Accompanied by bits and bites for breakfast, you will find several booths at the conference location where you can ask the team behind Checkmk specific questions. Benefit from the exchange with the community and start your day right.

Data centers are the backbone of our society. The continued growth in new data centers and their endless appetite for energy is, however, a major issue for our society. With power usage effectiveness hitting peak, we need to rethink energy efficiency in data centers. 

vSphere reports an ESXi host in maintenance, or a host is set to downtime and goes offline, but now all the connected ports on your network switches report critical down states? These alerts can be prevented with our rule-based maintenance plug-in that sets downtimes automatically.

Think of it as service dependency light!

Enterprise middleware is essential to almost any larger company for its software solutions to benefit from each other. Visibility is thus key and should be a priority for everyone. Learn how we extended Checkmk to monitor the TIBCO stack, one of the leading ecosystems in that field. We will share which metrics matter, and how you can make the most out of it in Checkmk.

A lesson, which you can use for any other enterprise middleware, or actually, any other Checkmk extension.

How do you design a monitoring platform that doesn’t compromise on security while still being able to do the day-to-day tasks needed in a world of an MSP, where no customer is alike?

We needed a solution for our growing customer base moving to our Checkmk platform, and the original design was not up for the task.

Build with Almalinux, FreeIPA, HaProxy, Wireguard, Ansible, Foreman and much, much more, and last but not least FUN!

We started working on a SaaS product almost exactly two years ago. A big bet on an entirely new deployment mode that allows users to forget about the operational layers of Checkmk and instead simply focus on what matters most: great monitoring. 

We’re excited to give you an update and show you what we’ve built – join us in taking an in-depth look behind the curtains.

Follow us on our journey reinventing the configuration of Checkmk. With the new cloud configuration wizard, we are introducing a new, simple mechanism for configuring multistep workflows in Checkmk.

No more jumping around in the UI. Get things done quickly. Start monitoring!

Monitoring without notifications is like a computer without a screen. But, alerts are also the bane of monitoring. Getting notifications right to avoid alert fatigue or useless notifications is essential. Checkmk's notification system is incredibly powerful, but comes with a steep learning curve.

With Checkmk 2.4, we will rework the Checkmk notifications, so that you'll love it.  

Kick back after two days of in-depth updates, and get a sneak peek at our longer term plans for Checkmk, and how we think of our strategic roadmap.

Everybody having a workshop ticket for the third day will have access to our special dinner after the main conference program of day 2. We are delighted to spend another evening with you, our community, while you're still in Munich. Let's reflect on the conference in a calm atmosphere while enjoying delicious drinks and food from Paulaner am Nockherberg.
