Checkmk announced a technical integration with Xurrent.
The new Checkmk app for Xurrent automatically synchronizes hosts and inventory data discovered by Checkmk into the Xurrent CMBD — closing the gap between what is actually running in the environment and what service teams see when an incident hits.
The Xurrent–Checkmk integration treats Checkmk as an authoritative discovery source for the configuration items that matter to service operations: physical servers, virtual machines, network devices, and cloud workloads. Once installed from the Xurrent App Store and configured with a Checkmk site, the app pulls hosts and granular inventory details into Xurrent on a continuous schedule, creating or updating configuration items automatically and reporting back execution status and any errors for review.
The result is a CMDB that reflects reality without manual upkeep, and a service desk that opens every ticket with accurate context about the asset involved.
"Service management is only as good as the data underneath it. When a major incident lands and the on-call engineer is staring at a CI record that hasn’t been touched in nine months, the CMDB is actively making things worse. Checkmk continuously maintains a live view across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure — including segmented networks. By bringing that near real-time visibility into Xurrent, this integration allows our joint customers to stop hand-curating asset records and start trusting them," said Phil Christianson, Chief Product Officer at Xurrent.
Key benefits for joint customers
- Automated, scheduled synchronization of Checkmk hosts and inventory into the Xurrent CMDB, including operating system versions and hardware specifications.
- Configuration items created and updated without manual intervention, with clear execution output and error reporting.
- Tighter incident-to-asset context — service desk and on-call teams see the same ground truth that monitoring sees.
- Faster, more reliable automation downstream: change management, problem management, and impact analysis built on data that’s actually current.
- Coverage spanning physical, virtual, and cloud environments and remote sites, including segmented networks that Checkmk reaches via its agents and relays.
"Checkmk’s automated discovery acts as a single source of truth across hybrid IT — from legacy data center estates to modern cloud-native workloads. Embedding that intelligence directly into the Xurrent CMDB is exactly the kind of integration our customers ask for: monitoring data showing up in the tools their service and operations teams already use, without another silo to maintain. Together with Xurrent, we’re shortening the path from a monitoring alert to incident resolution," said Martin Hirschvogel, Chief Product Officer at Checkmk.
This partnership reflects a broader shift in how modern IT organizations think about the CMDB: less as a periodically-audited database, more as a continuously-refreshed reflection of the live estate, fed by the systems that already have authoritative visibility. For Xurrent customers running Checkmk — and for Checkmk customers looking to extend their monitoring investment into service and operations workflows — the integration removes one of the most persistent friction points in ITSM.
The Checkmk app is available now.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...

And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
