Monitor IOT device which does not allow ping or snmp

General

Hi

Im very new to checkmk, but so far I like it, especially the UI!

Basically I just want to make an tcp connection to an IOT device, on the port which is open.
It does not allow ping, and of course does not have snmp, how can I do this?
When I add the device, I do not have such option to specify an custom TCP check, instead of snmp or ping.

Hi,
you can setup the rule Host check command there you should get the option for a TCP connect.

  1. Switch to the section Host monitoring rules
  2. Click on Host check command
  3. Add rule for current host
  4. Select TCP connect from the list and enter the port you want to use

Nice. Thanks a lot. I’ve got it working!

Shouldnt the ping service check go away automatically when above is set ?

I cannot find a way to disable it.

Ping check is default if there is no other service check. You have probably only created a host check.

You can create a tcp connection service check, then use that as host check command as well.

Got it working! Awesome! Thanks!
Smart with the option to define the already configured services as tcp checks.
