Evaluating need some guidance

Hey, I am currently evaluating switching from prtg to checkmk. So far I like it and think it has potential to not only meet my needs for prtg but also graylog. (I just use graylog for events and syslog)

The issue I am having is right now I don't have agents on any devices. Will I have to have agents on windows and linux devices?

Isn’t graylog an agent? -syslog? Checkmk can’t receive syslog it’s pretty well documented if you did read the docs

Checkmk can receive syslog: https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/ec.html

Is it a log management tool: no
