I will implement checkmk monitoring system for your infrastructure

Checkmk is a monitoring and observability system designed to collect data from your IT infrastructure and present it within the application, providing monitoring and control of your IT resources. It is a powerful tool for gaining visibility into your systems and services.

Network, IT, and service infrastructure, thus providing observability over virtual private machines (VPS), dedicated servers, network devices such as routers or switches, as well as your systems in Public Cloud or Kubernetes nodes, or services like Apache, MySQL, and others.

I usually recommend and work with the open-source and free version (RAW) of Checkmk, as it has many capabilities and you can achieve almost all desired objectives with the RAW version of Checkmk.

Plugins are packages or extensions that can be installed in the Checkmk system to enable integrations with more specific systems or devices, such as specific VMware components, various firewall appliances, DNS servers, Cisco systems, and others.

A Checkmk cluster is the combination and configuration of two or more Checkmk servers working together over the network, forming two or more nodes that share data and information among themselves, thus creating a high-availability, fault-tolerant cluster.

Not exactly; while it is true that this is one of the main factors influencing the price of the service, there are other factors as well, such as the size of your infrastructure, the need to create or generate custom dashboards, monitoring specific services, or the integration of plugins.

Of course, I would be happy to schedule a meeting if we need to identify your specific needs, and a customized offer can be created based on that, outside the fixed pricing packs I offer.

Since Checkmk is a monitoring and observability system, and its goal is to provide important data and metrics about your infrastructure, I never recommend installing it on a server that also hosts other applications. It is better to dedicate a clean server solely for Checkmk.
