checkmk

Description

Provisions the CheckMK server and client.

Usage

To set up a CheckMK server:

class { '::checkmk':
  mode                     => 'server',
  version                  => '2.1.0p14',
  sha256_hash              => '8804c0291e897f6185b147613a5fc86d61c0bcf73eaac5b11d90afe58af10c9f', # SHA256 hash of requested version, this can be found at: https://checkmk.com/download
  cmkadmin_user_password   => 'changeme123', # Password for the `cmkadmin` user
  automation_user_password => 'changeme456', # Password for the `automation` user
}

This will provision a CheckMK server with default configuration. This can be accessed from: http://<server-ip>/default. To login, use the cmkadmin credentials.

To set up a CheckMK agent:

class { '::checkmk':
  mode                    => 'agent',
  agent_download_protocol => 'http', # The protocol that should be used when talking to the CheckMK server
  agent_download_host     => 'checkmk.example.com', # The hostname or IP address of the CheckMK server
}

All configurations can be set using Hiera.
