Checkmk for Ubuntu 22.04 armhf/amv7

General

I’d like to use check_mk raw under Ubuntu 22.04 running on an ODROID XU4 (armhf/armv7 architecture). I can only see Ubuntu versions for amd64 or Raspbian versions für armhf. I guess both won’t work. Which version should I use?

Hi Frank,

I think the official answer is :

tldr; there is and there will be no short term solution for checkmk server on ARM Processors.
There is an inofficial ARM built, but i would not recommend to use that in production.

Hi Andre,
thanks for your quick reply!

I yesterday started using checkmk in a docker but ran into a check_icmp error (Failed to obtain ICMP socket: Operation not permitted), which I can’t fix.

Both limitations seems to be the end of my checkmk story. Very sad!

Hi Frank,

i think the docker error is a permission problem with your synology, that is not primarily a checkmk issue.
There are several other options to use checkmk:

  • Different Linux Operating Systems (Ubuntu, Debian,SuSE, Red Hat)
  • The virtual checkmk Appliance (OVA)
  • Hardware Appliances
  • Cloud Options (AWS, Azure)
  • Docker Container (On other nodes than a synology NAS Device)
  • Inofficial ARM Builds (not for production use)
  • a SAAS offer will probably be coming this year

If all these options are not enough, then yes, this might be the end of your checkmk story.
