Case Study: Rockefeller University reduces alert fatigue and improves IT visibility with Checkmk

Rockefeller University reduces false alerts and monitors 850+ hosts with Checkmk

Rockefeller University, a leading biomedical research institution, needed to replace its outdated Nagios monitoring which was difficult to maintain and generated over 800 imprecise email alerts daily. This created alert fatigue and hindered the IT team's mission to ensure peak performance for its high-performance computing data centers and over 85 research labs.

The university implemented Checkmk Pro in 2022, monitoring over 850 hosts and 17,000 services. Checkmk provided precise alerting, granular access controls for different departments, and long-term data storage for proactive analysis. The solution significantly reduced false alerts and monitoring workload, dropped support calls, and gave the IT team more time for strategic tasks. Rockefeller University is very pleased with Checkmk as its main monitoring tool.
