The TDT Checkmk monitoring system is a comprehensive solution for professional network, hardware and data center monitoring as well as the monitoring of applications and operating systems. For this purpose, TDT-Checkmk relies on open source and the optimized Checkmk´s "Micro-Core" , representing a further development of the proven Nagios core.

The IT monitoring system is ideally suited for branch and retail networks. In a resource-efficient manner, the monitored devices are contacted only once in each test interval and all data is transmitted in the form of a "passive check". Supported by Checkmk's "Micro-Core", excellent performance is guaranteed, even when a large number of hosts and services are to be monitored. 

As a result, shorter test intervals can be achieved, which in turn allows alarms to be triggered more quickly if required and data, e.g. network load, to be recorded far more accurately. Several stand-alone monitoring servers can be combined into a virtual overall system - for the purposes of monitoring distributed across different locations or for load balancing. In this case, the configuration can be managed centrally and is then distributed automatically.

You can still easily maintain a clear overview - even in the case of large networks and complex applications - thanks to the structured Web interface. Here, the person responsible for the network and the help desk receive all relevant data displayed quickly and in a clear manner. The customizable, multi-level alerting system keeps you up to date at all times and actively informs you of any irregularities via e-mail or, in the case of critical components, also via SMS or Pushover.

TDT devices can always be seamlessly and quickly incorporated into an already existing monitoring system. The Checkmk agent is firmly integrated into our firmware and is thus available on all devices by default.

This way, all important parameters of your TDT router can be monitored. Checks specially adapted to our TDT routers read out radio and DSL parameters, among others, and display them in a clearly arranged manner in the monitoring.
