Hello All, I have discovered checkmk very recently and I am currently testing it to see if this is something I can implement to monitor VMs on multiple platforms. Everything is currently a testing environment.
The problem: I have successfully created an API Integration and I was able to create a host for my Rescource Group: Demo-RG.
Then i have created a separate host for a VM running in Azure with PiggyBacking enabled. Unfortunately barely any information is being picked up.
I’m trying to get the CPU/Disk/Network usage come from the VM Monitoring if possible, but i have hit a brick wall and I am unable to figure out what I am doing wrong.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I have followed this guide and on on Stage 3.4 you can see how in their screenshot Storages have been picked up, it didn’t happen in my instance:
(I have tried to give more details, but I can only add one screenshot)
CMK version: Checkmk Raw Edition 2.1.0p23
OS version: Debian 11
Error message: No Error message, but rather missing details in an Azure VM
Output of “cmk --debug -vvn hostname”: (If it is a problem with checks or plugins)
OMD[monitoring]:~$ cmk --debug -vvn chkmktest
