In the company I work in we use Telegraf to gather lots of telemetry/monitoring data. I would very much like to see checkmk accept a batch of metrics (from multiple devices) in one stream from Telegraf (via Opentelemetry protocol), then let it act upon it. Prometheus biggest limitation is that it is only compatible with numerical data, whereas string data is also important information.
This way checkmk could truly fit into existing company systems, and devices would need to be polled once and not multiple times (impacting performance). I think this could let checkmk move higher in the Gartner's Monitoring Magic quadrant to where Dynatrace and New Relic currently are.
