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

Checkmk update to 2.4.0p30

We decided to upgrade the integrated Checkmk version to Checkmk Raw Edition 2.4.0p30.

We have released the openITCOCKPIT Monitoring Agent 3.6.0 and openITCOCKPIT 5.5.2!

openITCOCKPIT Agent 3.6.0

Add support for Windows on ARM64

With version 3.6.0, the openITCOCKPIT Agent now also supports Windows on ARM64 devices. Please use the openitcockpit-agent-3.6.0-arm64.msi installer.

Add Homebrew package inventory support for macOS

With version 3.6.0, the openITCOCKPIT Agent can now also check and query alternative or third party package managers. Currently only Homebrew on macOS is supported, but more package manager and operating systems may be added in the future.

openITCOCKPIT version 5.5.0 has been released!

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:

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.

After successfully separating from the Allgeier Group, Allgeier IT Services GmbH will now operate under a new name: AVENDIS GmbH

The name change is a deliberate step to continue our chosen path of growth with an independent, modern brand identity — with a clear focus on high-quality IT services “Made in Germany”.

• Your usual service remains unchanged.
• Your contacts remain the same.
• Management stays on board.
• Our quality and security standards remain high.
• Existing service contracts remain valid.

openITCOCKPIT version 5.4.0 has been released! This is the first release of 2026 and it comes packed with many new features, including Patch Management, improved Wizards, and numerous bug fixes. The Prometheus Module is now included in the openITCOCKPIT Community Edition and is available to everyone for free. 🚀

Software inventory and patch management

The new Patch Management feature allows you to keep track of installed software and the current patch status of your hosts. It provides a central place to manage and monitor patch status, helping you keep your systems up-to-date and secure.

The data is collected by the openITCOCKPIT Monitoring Agent, so no additional software is required on the monitored hosts. Data collection is available for Windows, macOS and Linux in both Pull and Push modes.
