CheckmkvsGrafana

Checkmk addresses IT infrastructure monitoring. Checkmk's discovery and monitoring rules help teams cover many infrastructure services without hand-building every check. It is especially attractive in mixed on-premise estates. The rule hierarchy takes time to master. Administrators need discipline to prevent overlapping settings from becoming difficult to debug.

Grafana helps engineering and operations teams monitor infrastructure, applications, and business metrics using open standards and an extensible plugin ecosystem. It is available as open source, managed cloud, and enterprise deployments.
