Integrating SailPoint with Checkmk

Checkmk is an IT infrastructure monitoring platform that brings host discovery, service checks, alerting, and reporting together into one operational view. Rather than requiring teams to piece together separate agents, dashboards, and notification systems, Checkmk ships as a self-contained solution where automatic service discovery, flexible thresholding, and built-in visualization work out of the box, letting operations teams keep tabs on servers, network gear, and applications without stacking multiple specialized tools on top of each other. This document provides instructions to configure a new direct connection to a Checkmk source. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to Source and Connector Definitions.

These limits ensure that individual compliance statuses are kept up to date while maintaining continuous compliance monitoring. If you need to run additional aggregations beyond these limits, contact SailPoint Support.
