Why NocMate

A clean rollout instead of plugin chaos

NocMate cleanly separates the app, the push API and Checkmk. The site only sends event data to the API – the app manages the user key and handles delivery to iPhone and Mac.

Fast Checkmk setup

Just the API URL and user key from the app. No signing secret, no legacy parameters, no admin overhead for regular users.

One user key, multiple devices

iPhone and Mac run in parallel off the same key. Alerts arrive on all active devices at once – without rebuilding Checkmk multiple times.

A professional operator flow

Dashboard, problems, hosts, services and push status – built for fast incident handling. Lightweight, with a traceable alert path.

The app

From the alert to the fix – all in one app

The alert reaches you instantly, you keep an eye on every host, and you act straight from your iPhone – no browser, no VPN.

New: NocMate Connect Beta

Checkmk behind the firewall – the app still online.

No reverse proxy, no public endpoint, no inbound firewall rule. A small agent opens an outbound, TLS-secured connection to our relay – ideal for healthcare, critical infrastructure and public authorities.

Outbound only

The agent opens an outbound HTTPS connection. No inbound firewall opening required.

QR pairing

The script shows a QR code in the terminal. Scan it with the app – the site is connected. No token copy/paste.

No data caching

No snapshot storage. Requests are passed through solely in the relay's RAM.

Setup

Connect Checkmk in four steps

A wizard installs push and Connect with a single command – the OMD site and Checkmk user are detected automatically.

1

Install the app

Enable push and copy the user key from the settings.

2

Install the script

Drop nocmate_push onto the Checkmk site and make it executable.

3

Create a rule

Set just two parameters in Checkmk: API URL and user key.

4

Test

Trigger WARNING, CRITICAL and Recovery and verify right on the device.

Push in a single command

For plain alerts on iPhone and Mac you need neither Connect nor an agent. The script auto-detects your OMD site, drops the notification plugin nocmate_push and reloads Checkmk.

curl -fsSL https://nocmate.app/downloads/install_nocmate_checkmk.sh | sudo bash

Prefer not to pipe to shell? Download nocmate_push.sh and copy it manually to ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/.  ·  Read the full setup guide →

FAQ

Mobile Checkmk: key questions

Which app brings Checkmk alerts to iPhone and Mac?

NocMate displays Checkmk hosts and services on Apple devices and receives push notifications for failures and recovery. You can acknowledge problems and schedule downtimes from the app.

Does push require a public Checkmk server?

No. The Checkmk notification script sends events to the NocMate Push API. For live data and actions on a private Checkmk instance, you can also use NocMate Connect. Its agent establishes an outbound connection.

How much does NocMate cost?

The free tier includes 30 push notifications per month. Small includes 500 per month; Unlimited includes unlimited push notifications and one Connect site. Current prices, subscription periods and additional Connect packages are available in the App Store and the app.

Which devices and monitoring systems are supported?

The App Store listing specifies iOS and iPadOS 17 or later and macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon M1 or newer. NocMate supports Checkmk REST API and Multisite, plus Nagios Core, Icinga and Thruk through Classic CGI. The setup guide covers Checkmk integration.

Can I try NocMate without my own monitoring server?

Yes. Demo mode provides sample data without requiring an account or a configured monitoring instance.

How does push work for multiple devices and people?

Multiple devices can use the same User Key and receive alerts in parallel. For multiple people, create separate Checkmk notification rules using their respective User Keys. Install the push script only once per site.
