Export configuration of Checkmk

17 votes

Add the feature of exporting current configuration (details on monitored systems and monitored services on them as well as notifications definitions) in readable format (PDF, csv, xls...) in order to have the summary of the systems covered and resources used, to be presentable to the teams that has interest in them as well as customers.

We are asking since long for such a functionality to transparent share the applied levels and settings with the various admin teams which having no access to the ruleset. Currently we manually copy that to a self made web portal which is never complete because we can only document the standard templates. Any individual monitoring of e.g. processes, files etc. dont find that way in to that documentation. The effort is much to high.
Much appreciate a solution. Possibly via REST API ???

How would such a configuration export look like?

How would the export handle 60.000+ services?

@Robert Sander I hope you have not 60.000+ individual rules to manage the levels for your services.
E.g. we have several thousands of services 'Memory' all managed by one single rule. Same for FS, CPU etc.

We are waiting for it since 2017. Been promised to us for 1.6 (only a patch, working for us temporary, not perfect but better then nothing) 1.7 (never released) and for 2.0 and later suddently not working anymore - I think we even payed credits for it.
All started with the 2017 Conference where Edeka had a little Hack done by Andreas Bösel
Very helpfull and needed

This feature would be quite beneficial in cases of audit. Particularly in cases of need to compare services provided with services that generate revenue.

If I were to design this feature - I'd populate the first column with hostnames, second with aliases and third with IP address. Followed by columns for any available service to be monitored. During export - all the empty columns should/could be ignored.
Grouping might be by folders and/or labels and other attributes that are available. Or it could be just available in columns, for future processing.

Basic thing which is still not implemented after years. Export all configured rules, tags, labels, notifications. No need to export 4500 hosts with 160 000 services.
