Can OpenVMS be monitored WITH Check_MK?

The current version of Checkmk ships with an agent for OpenVMS.

However, I have never worked with OpenVMS, so I can’t tell you more details. The README contains some instructions:

OpenVMS Agent for Check_MK
--------------------------

*** current status:  BETA ***

1. Prerequisites
    - An OpenVMS account with enhanced privileges:
      CMKRNL must be enabled per default (for network counters)
    - Make sure that you do not use the SYSTEM account! Rather create a new
      account with the name 'check_mk' with enabled privileges (TMPMBX, NETMBX, CMKRNL)
    - It is a good idea to create the login directory for the
      user who invokes the agent outside of the system disk
      (SYS$SYSDEVICE)
    - Preferrable create a subdirectory [.bin] for using this
      agent

2. Using the agent
    - Copy the file check_mk_agent.openvms to your OpenVMS system
      and rename it to check_mk_agent.com.
    - For direct testing purposes you can invoke this procedure
