Welcome to Cmkbeat.
CMKBeat is used to retrieve information from Check_MK's livestatus and send it to Elasticsearch / Logstash / etc.
CMKBeat uses Glide for dependency management. To install glide, see https://github.com/Masterminds/glide
or (in most cases) run "go get github.com/Masterminds/glide".
To install all of the dependencies and build the binary, run
"make all"
in the cmkbeat directory. Once built, you can simply copy the executable and configuration files into your desired directories, or run
"make install"
to install everything to the default locations. If installing manually, there is a sysv init script in the system/ directory.
To start cmkbeat manually, run
./cmkbeat -c /path/to/cmkbeat.yml
