Monitoring AWS instance with Check_mk

by

I installed OMD V1.20 (CentOS 7.x) with the help of this tutorial. I was able to successfully add the server itself as host and it showed some 18 processes and is running fine.

After that, I proceeded with installation of check_mk_agent in an AWS instance (Ubuntu 4.8.2). I am able to successfully test it using telnet ip-of-aws-instance 6556 from the OMD host and I added it as the host.

I am only seeing PING service from this AWS host. Is there anything I am missing? How should I configure OMD/Check_mk to show all processes running in that machine?

Answer

Make sure you edit the agent type of the host to “Check_MK”. If it says “No Agent” this is why you only see ping. After you check this make sure to re-inventory the host.
