[Check_mk (english)] Check MK and Puppet API

Hi Community

Did any of you had a chance or an use case where in a service ‘x’ goes down in check mk console and as a part of auto healing process , check mk should send contact puppet to do the auto healing of the service which was down.(I also understand that check mk has event handling capability too but however we wanted to leverage puppet as well in auto handling scenario .

All I need to know is can check mk invokes puppet to perform some action .

If yes do we have an api where in check mk talks to puppet ?

Thanks

There is a generic mechanism in Check_MK for executing tasks.

In the raw edition it's called Nagios event handlers, they have to be
configured in the Nagios config files in ~/etc/nagios/conf.d:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/3/en/eventhandlers.html
and a snippet in extra_service_conf["event_handler"]:

The enterprise edition features alert handlers:

You can call anything from these scripts.

Hallo,
auto healing can cause problems.
So please ensure that you get informations when an action is triggered.
