First I’d upgrade my Checkmk to 2.2 if you can, 2.0 is quite old now
There are a number of ways this can be done. I’m sure your other team is using Grafana to display metrics. You can use the Checkmk Grafana plugin to allow metrics from both Checkmk and Prometheus in the same tool.
You could also install the Prometheus preferred agent Telegraf on your Checkmk server. Here you could let Checkmk send InfluxDB V.2.x metrics to Telegraf, and telegraf can then use prometheus remote-write to push the metrics to Prometheus. However his requires some tweaking and is not plug-n-play at the moment
The last option would be to setup a separate Influx DB 2.x database that you send metrics to, and configure that in Grafana to view metrics. Influx 1.x (graphite) is not supported in Checkmk 2.x. Influxdb 2.x in Checkmk allows to send more data like host and service labels that can be very useful.
Hello,
I have the same problem - we monitor network devices using checkmk (2.2 EE) and we need to share these metrics in prometheus format.
I tried sending them to telegraf in influxdb 2 format, but cmc complains with http 404 error. I suspect checkmk tries to verify if “influxdb” is alive by checking some kind of healthcheck. And telegraf acting as influxdb v2 doesn’t expose this specific url.
I know my telegraf works as influxdb2 forwarder, because it works with another telegraf.
I use most recent telegraf version.
