Hello,
does anybody know if CheckMK (paid version) is able to send its monitoring data, events, status updates to other monitoring tools like HP-OpenView or VMware vROPs?
I am not talking about email notifications, which need parsing at the recipient end. I am talking about any other interface or data standard thats is available for continuous monitoring data transfer into other tools.
Thank you in advance

CheckMK has documented interfaces like livestatus for live data or API for configuration data. The question is more what is supported on the other end. You can also sent all events from CMK as SNMPTraps if you want or as other protocols - the notification system not only can produce mail 
The systems you mentioned are not capable of the complete infrastructure monitoring as they are not open to integrate with some arcane IT devices. I would think more in the other direction to integrate the vROP into CMK.
You can implement any protocol you can think of in a notification plugin. Notifications are not limited to email.
Hi,
as @r.sander and @andreas-doehler told you, there are many ways tu send Alarms to different targets. I wrote a simple notification script to send the alarm values via JSQN to different targets like IBM Netcool or elasticsearch.
Cheers,
Christian
A general remark. The reason our company went with checkmk is because we were tired of all the proprietary monitoring islands on the network. I realize that in many cases you are not in control of corporate choices, Iām just saying why we did what we did.
