Robotmk: How to extend the monitoring system Checkmk with checks from the user's perspective
So you think you are comprehensively monitoring your business-critical applications? Are you using Nagios, Naemon, Icinga2, Checkmk et cetera for this? Then... let me say that, alas, you rely on a big hypothesis, because all these IT infrastructure monitoring tools have their natural limits. Robotmk extends the monitoring capabilities of Checkmk to the application level. It integrates the results of End2End tests done with Robot Framework - which is by far the most popular and versatile tool for automated testing. My talk first covers the basic concepts of Robot Framework and Checkmk. You will learn the added value by RobotMK and the different monitoring strategies it offers. Robot Framework/RobotMK has been chosen as the E2E monitoring solution for the application landscape of the swiss government, from where I will show two selected use cases.

Newcomers will receive a brief background on the OpenNMS project, and longtime users will come up to date with the project's ...

Julian and I work for Icinga and want to shed some light on what, how and why we do what we do and also what YOU can do. The format is going to be a bit like a podcast, where we just talk about our topics for a little and try to provide some light entertainment while staying technical.
