check_mk is a general purpose Nagios-plugin for retrieving data. It adopts a new approach for collecting data from operating systems and network components. It obsoletes NRPE, check_by_ssh, NSClient, and check_snmp and it has many benefits, the most important of which are significant reduction of CPU usage on the Nagios host and automatic inventory of items to be checked on hosts. The larger your Nagios installation is, the more helpful these improvements.
Changes: This release is the first one with “MK Livestatus”, a
new Nagios event broker module that is a resource saving replacement for NDO.
