Create a site and start it
omd create monitor omd start monitor
Checkmk Agent
Install the agent on the system that should be monitored. Lets xinetdhandle it.
apt-get install xinetd wget http://checkmk/monitor/check_mk/agents/check-mk-agent_2.0.0-1_all.deb dpkg -i check-mk-agent_2.0.0-1_all.deb
Apt
Download the APT plugin from the server and place it in /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins. Make sure it is executeable.
chmod 755 /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/mk_apt
Mariadb
Copy the mk_mysql plugin into /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/ and make it executeable
cd http://checkmk/monitor/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_mysql http://checkmk/monitor/check_mk/agents/plugins/mk_mysql chmod 755 mk_mysql
Create the file /etc/check_mk/mysql.cfg and configure a user for mariadb authentication
[client] user=checkmk password=checkmkpassword
DNS Cache
Checmk maintains a DNS cache. If a host changes its IP-address, checkmk will not know this. The solution is to update the DNS cache.
su - monitor /opt/omd/versions/2.0.0p1.cre/bin/check_mk --update-dns-cache
Another option is to go to Setup -> General -> Global settings -> Execution of checks -> Use DNS lookup cache and disable that feature.
