Easy Install Checkmk
Scripts to install bleeding edge Checkmk in development context.
If you are a regular Checkmk customer you probably don't want to use this, as this tools remove sites without warning.
sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath
# check output of this command. you might have to open a fresh terminal!
pipx install cmk-dev-site
For updating you can use:
pipx upgrade cmk-dev-site
# Download and install latest available daily build of 2.5.0
cmk-dev-install 2.5 && cmk-dev-site
# (will fall back to the daily builds of yesterday)
# Download daily build of today and
# setup distributed monitoring with one two sites:
cmk-dev-install 2.5.0-daily && cmk-dev-site -d 1
# Download and install raw edition package
cmk-dev-install --edition=cre 2.5.0-daily
Will download the requested package of Checkmk and install said package.
You might request a daily build (cmk-dev-install 2.5.0-daily),
the latest available daily build (handy if there are no daily builds of today) (cmk-dev-install 2.5),
or an officially release Checkmk version (cmk-dev-install 2.4.0p9).
Please check the built in help (cmk-dev-install --help) for all options!
Will create a site, install the checkmk agent, and add a single host to the site.
cmk-dev-site uses omd
commands and the official
REST-API to create one or
multiple sites based on the current default omd version (or the version
specified on the command line).
You might use -d 1 to create a distributed monitoring with one distributed site.
Please check the built in help (cmk-dev-site --help) for all options!
Currently there is no public available tool to completely cleanup sites and
packages create with the presented tools. If you are a Checkmk developer you
might make use of the internal tool omd-hauweg, otherwise you have to
manually remove the sites using omd rm and uninstall the packages using apt purge.
If you'd like to make contributions to the tool, check out our development documentation. Here you'll see steps on how to setup your environment for local development.
