Before you connect
Questions about Checkmk.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can Checkmk MCP help me during an outage?
Yes, it lets you quickly check host statuses and service errors through your chat interface. You can get the status of specific hosts or entire groups without clicking through multiple menus.
How do I use Checkmk MCP to see my host groups?
You can just ask your agent to list the host groups, and it will pull the full list for you. This is great for getting a quick overview of your monitoring structure.
Can I use Checkmk MCP to push updates?
Yes, you can use it to activate pending configuration changes directly from your conversation. It helps you push updates to the monitoring core more efficiently.
Is Checkmk MCP good for auditing?
It's great for auditing because you can list all monitored services or folders to see your site structure. It gives you a clear view of what's being monitored.
Does Checkmk MCP work with Claude?
Yes, it works with Claude and any other MCP-compatible client you prefer to use. You just connect it once and can start managing your infrastructure.
What happens when I ask for host details?
The agent pulls specific configuration and status data for that host and presents it to you in plain text. It's much faster than finding the host in the web interface.
Can I see failing services across all my hosts?
Yes! Use the list_all_monitored_services capability. The agent will return a comprehensive list of services, and you can ask it to filter for those in CRITICAL or WARNING states.
How do I apply changes I made in WATO through the agent?
Use the activate_checkmk_changes capability. Your agent will trigger the activation process in Checkmk, pushing all pending configurations to the monitoring core.
Where do I find my Checkmk Automation Secret?
Log in to your Checkmk site, go to 'Setup' -> 'Users', and edit your automation user. You will see the 'Automation secret' field there.
