Integration options with CheckMK

Thx for the explanation!

I had actually never considered the integration of RemoteServer, which could ‘deliver’ libraries to test nodes.
…the use case sounds interesting, but I wonder what problem we could really solve with it.

The use case relates to system level end-to-end testing of modern, distributed cyber physical systems: Robot Framework for Cyber Physical System DevOps: Call for inspiration/feedback - #6 by fkromer

In such test automation systems RF runs in a CI and invokes remote libraries on Linux and/or Windows remote servers (e.g. to interface with measurement instruments for getting test output, etc.) usually. In some system scenarios (e.g. in systems containing on-premise networking in addition) it could potentially be interesting if RF could get consolidated check results of a CheckMK instance monitoring e.g. routers, switches, firewalls via SNMP in addition. I hope this explanation was sufficient enough to get the context.

What do you mean with “checks”? Do you want to create rules, or discover services?

Sorry, that was not precisely formulated: I mean the results of SNMP based check plug-ins. Related to consolidated results from the use case above.

With Livestatus you can query the monitoring core for the status data of hosts and services.
I know, not really a REST-like way but this should work ;-):

Not exactly the answer I was hoping for :slight_smile:
