[Check_mk Announce] New Check_MK stable release 1.5.0p12

by Check_mk Announcements

Dear friends of Check_MK, the new stable release 1.5.0p12 of Check_MK is ready for download. We are proud to announce the release of Check_MK version 1.5.0p12 also known as 1.5.0+, because it ships with several new features we wanted you to be able to use as soon as possible. With the new release, Check_MK provides a connector to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and a large set of off-the-shelf plug-ins to monitor metrics of some of the most popular AWS services. These includethe Simple Storage Service (S3), Elastic Compute Cloud(EC2), Elastic Block Store (EBS), and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). Furthermore, users can also monitor the costs of their AWS services. Check_MK 1.5+ also provides plug-ins for Microsoft Azure services via a special agent to monitor Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage Accounts, Azure SQL Databases, Azure Webservers and Azure Virtual Network Gateways. The new release also enhances the monitoring of container environments beyond the already existing Docker monitoring. With Check_MK 1.5+, users will be able to monitor Kubernetes, one of the most prominent container orchestration tools, and see detailed metrics on Kubernetes clusters, nodes and pods. Another interesting part of this release are the new notification plug-ins that Check_MK 1.5+ is introducing. We have added plug-ins for the incident management systems VictorOps and PagerDuty and also for the collaboration and communication platform Slack.
