Monitoring is at the heart of your IT. Thus, it needs to be secure. Security expert Ralf Spenneberg will show how you secure your monitoring. Checkmk provides all of the tools to enable enterprise-grade security. Sometimes the options are hidden, not enabled or need configuration. In this workshop, Ralf will discuss the Checkmk architecture in the context of security and will explain and demonstrate the configuration of a secure setup of a Checkmk installation. The best security practices concerning the Checkmk agent connection, distributed configuration, access via SNMP and special agents, SSL/TLS connections to VMware and LDAP, the certificate store and the password store will be covered by this workshop.

Workshop #5: Advanced topics for Checkmk plugin development [DE]08:30 - 17:00Moritz Kiemerread more read less
You have already written your own check plug-ins, and you want to dive deeper into this topic? Learn from our developer how we are writing check plug-ins and ask all your questions that ever arose concerning this topic. In total, we will go into the details of the Check-API, walkthrough the migration of plugins to the modern check API introduced with Checkmk 2.0, and also learn how to write GUI extensions. This way your plug-ins can be configured properly, and their output can be visualized with Perf-O-Meters. In addition, you will learn when and how to write special agents.
Prerequisits: Experience in developing Checkmk plug-ins, good Python knowledge
