Hi everyone,
I have a remote CheckMK raw server and a master.
How can I configure the remote server to only act as a proxy server for CheckMK?
What do you mean exactly? In a distributed CheckMK environment every server acts as it’s own system only the configuration can be done centralised. That means in the end that also without connection to the master server the remote server does his job without any problem.

My Apologies, perhaps I wasn’t clear enough.
What I’m trying to achieve is: I’ve set up all the hosts on the ‘master’ server, and I want each ‘proxy’ server to actively perform the checks on its own and then send the collected values/results back to the master."
This setup is not possible with RAW edition. It will be possible in the future with now Cloud edition and the relay instance there.
For RAW edition you can use the “shadow” host feature where you setup all instance for them self an then transport the current status to a central view only instance.
For this feature there are two scripts available one for enterprise cmc core and one for Nagios core. → cmcdump & livedump
But i don’t think this is really what you want. Why not using a normal distributed setup if you already want to configure all objects in your central instance?
