Hi guys. This is for ANY cmk version.
I have noticed that if you stop monitoring a host (which you have been monitoring for years), you can no longer see performance graphs, nothing. Am i doing something wrong?
I repeat.
I set a host to “do not monitor this host”, and i can no longer see CPU graphs, memory graphs, anything.
Is there a way?
I really really need historical data.
Thank you!!!
Hi,
when you set “Do not monitor” the hosts are not known to the checkmk core anymore and thus do not show up in the views.
But the performance data is still there, you can set it back and use other methods, like setting a downtime instead.
Suppose i want to add 1 host to another CMK server, just to test something. I don’t want 2 CMK servers to be monitoring the same host.
I want to STOP monitoring in 1 of them, but still access the historical data!
Please, TELL me how. It’s something so simple :(.
YOU are saying I have this nice cake, and I want to share it with my friend, but I want to eat the whole cake my selves - Tell me how you I can eat the whole cake but still share it with my friend…
Is not funny. Why would you write something like that?
because what you want to achieve is not as simple as you think, at least with the way checkmk currently works.
Setting a host to “do not monitor” makes the running monitoring core unaware of it, so it can’t display anything about it.
You could play with “check period for (hosts|active services|passive services)” to disable checking anything on the “archived” host while still keeping the monitoring aware of it. You’d probably also need to ignore or downtime any checks that will then go stale.
Or you could (manually!) migrate the historical data to the new site to which you move the host.
Depends on your use case and the effort you want to put into this.
