A Checkmk agent plugin that discovers host capabilities and reports each one as a host label, so you can see at a glance which plugins are worth installing on that host.
From the Capability Scout service's detail you can then add the bakery rules to deploy the corresponding plugins.
Coverage today includes databases, web and application servers, containers and virtualization, clustering and HA, backup and DR, messaging and monitoring engines, collaboration platforms, and cloud VM provisioning.
Prerequisites
For the Capabilities Scout service to render correctly, set these two things in Checkmk:
Do not escape HTML in service output: add a rule under Setup → Services → Service monitoring rules → "Escape HTML in service output", set it to "Don't escape HTML", limit it to the Capabilities Scout service, and activate changes. Without it, the logos and "Add rule" links show up as raw HTML text.
Increase maximum long output size: on hosts with many capabilities, raise Setup → Global settings → "Maximum long output size" above its default of 2000 bytes. Otherwise the service details are cut off.
