Checkmk is a software system developed in Python and C++ for IT Infrastructure monitoring. It is used for the monitoring of servers, applications, networks, cloud infrastructures (public, private, hybrid), containers, storage, databases and environment sensors.[3]

Checkmk is available in four editions:[4] an open source edition (Checkmk Raw Edition),[5] a commercial enterprise-grade edition (Checkmk Enterprise Edition), a commercial edition with advanced cloud monitoring features (Checkmk Cloud Edition), and an edition for managed services providers (Checkmk Managed Services Edition). These Checkmk Editions are available for a range of platforms, in particular for various versions of Debian, Ubuntu, SLES and Red Hat, and also as a Docker Image.[6] In addition, physical appliances of various sizes as well as a virtual appliance are offered to simplify the administration of the underlying operating system through a graphical user interface and to enable high-availability solutions.

The agents used by Checkmk to collect data are available for 11 platforms, including Windows.[7]
