As we are nearing the final release of version 2.3, we’ve decided to host a call to discuss one of the most significant new features of Checkmk 2.3: Synthetic Monitoring. The conversation will be led by the original developer of Robotmk and current product manager of Synthetic Monitoring, Simon Meggle.
Here’s the plan:
Presentation: In this segment, we’ll cover:
A short introduction to Synthetic Monitoring
Insights into the Robot Framework
An overview of Robotmk
Synthetic Monitoring as a product within Checkmk
Demo
We’ll provide a demonstration to showcase the functionality of Synthetic Monitoring.
Please note that the call will not be recorded to encourage open discussion. However, we’ll share the slides and a video of the demo afterwards for those unable to attend.
I have to say that this Checkmk release with built-in Robotmk is something very special for me and I am really looking forward to this call with you.
Please let me know in advance what you are particularly interested in and I will be happy to discuss/show it.
For me it is not possible to join the session.
Will the session recorded by Checkmk?
My questions are the parallel execution on a Linux host, is that possible now and how many checks in parallel are possible?
And is it possible to check URL’s with an Oauth/Kerberos authentication?
thanks a lot!
There will be no recording afaik, but after the call we will share links to videos of the live demo with you.
I have seen users in the community doing tests with Oauth - I did not have them in previous projects.
For MFA authentication, there is a special library which works pretty good, you can find an example here:
The scheduler (including parallel execution) was currently developed for Windows, as the vast majority of customers test on this OS. An implementation for Linux will come later. The number of parallel executions depends on the machine’s resources and the kind of test you are running (how many subprocesses are spawn is part of the test implementation, there is no common answer).
I want to thank everyone who joined us today for your time and interest, and also share with everyone who was not able to join the materials from today’s call:
