With opsi, IT environments can be managed quickly and easily. The IT environment is usually monitored using dedicated monitoring tools such as Icinga or CheckMK. When it comes to opsi, the services to be monitored can be divided into four subject areas:

Each of these areas has its own monitoring requirements and must be considered separately. In addition, the choice of monitoring tool also results in different approaches. By implementing dedicated plug-ins for the different checks, an attempt is made to take the UNIX philosophy into account.

Thomas Trapp and Eric Esser have looked into these questions and will present what would be of interest in monitoring opsi in this talk and show one or two prototype plugins as a proof of concept. The format is more of a presentation of ideas and thoughts and any comments, requests and feedback from the community are very welcome.
