Thanks to everyone who also contacted me directly. The discussions were very helpful.
I am currently writing the presentation for the Checkmk conference, where we will share our plans.
And we could probably hire a few more people and still have plenty of work ahead. How did our developer put it today: If you read about it, it’s already deprecated.
As far as I can see, the KubeLibrary from Robot Framework works similar to the current Checkmk monitoring. They both utilize the official Python client for Kubernetes. Which has the big problem, that it can’t keep up with the fast changes of the Kubernetes API itself…
And, it can only use the data provided by the API, which is not enough for a proper performance monitoring (which you can in Checkmk, if you use Prometheus integration).
