openITCOCKPIT 5.6.0 released

12.06.2026

openITCOCKPIT version 5.6.0 has been released! Packed with new features, such as support for Proxmox VE, a new parent-child relationship tree, support for the latest Linux distributions, security updates and much more.

Import Module: Proxmox VE

The Import Module now supports Proxmox VE as a data source. This allows you to easily import all virtual machines and LXC containers from Proxmox VE into openITCOCKPIT for monitoring. openITCOCKPIT will automatically create services for all VMs and containers to keep an eye on CPU, memory, disk usage (LXC only), network traffic and more. No modifications or agents are required as openITCOCKPIT will use the Proxmox API to query all the necessary data.

In addition, hosts that are imported from Proxmox, will have a new Tab in the host details view named Proxmox VE. This tab will provide an overview of the VM or container and provides access to actions such as start, stop, restart. It is also possible to create or rollback snapshots, as well as to open the Proxmox VE web interface directly from openITCOCKPIT.

Please see the docs for more details: https://docs.openitcockpit.io/en/configuration/import-module/#proxmox-ve

EventcorrelationModule: New Scoring Operator

The Score Operator allows you to evaluate the overall health of multiple services by assigning scores to their states and comparing the total score against a defined threshold. This means, the Score Operator will not simply pass-through the worst state of all services (Ok, Warning, Critical, Unknown), but it will calculate a score based on the states of all services and their assigned scores. This allows for more granular and flexible monitoring, as you can define different weights for different services and set thresholds that better reflect the overall health of your system.

For example, let’s assume you want to monitor three internet connections, with different bandwidths. Each connection has a different importance for your business, so you assign different scores to their states:

Service Warning Score Critical Score
Internet Connection 1 (10 Gbit/s) 6 12
Internet Connection 2 (5 Gbit/s) 3 6
Internet Connection 3 (5 Gbit/s) 3 6

The 10 Gbit/s connections is the most imporant one, but it can be compensated by the two 5 Gbit/s connections.

If the 10 Gbit/s connection goes down, the impact is critical to your business, you it has the highest score. If the 5 Gbit/s or 5 Gbit/s connection goes down you services will remain available, but you lose on redundancy.
