Still working on the formatting. Please bear with me. 23:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fheigl (talk • contribs)

idk if it needs a citation if it's even in the official documents. But if it makes people happy. 2001:A60:1C52:FE01:20B1:435:8F60:C0CF (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

This reads like a press release, and uses business buzzwords all around to highlight the "benefits" the system provides.

It doesn't talk about limitations of the system and doesn't offer comparisons to other systems.

It also mixes features of OS and proprietary editions, despite them being slightly different. 2A02:6B8:B081:B48A:0:0:1:10 (talk) 13:42, 2 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the recent rollback: Please note that the Infobox now displays outdated data. Version 2.5.0 was officially released on April 28, 2026, while the current live version rolls it back to version 2.4. Could an editor please update the Infobox to reflect the current active release? Thank you. --Valerio271 (talk) 16:28, 6 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, following up on my previous note and as a representative of Checkmk (declared COI), I would like to formally request the Infobox update to restore the current stable release details.

Current code in the article:

| latest release version = 2.4 | latest release date = May 6, 2025; 15 months ago (2025-05-06)

Requested code update:

| latest release version = 2.5 | latest release date = April 28, 2026; 3 months ago (2026-04-28)

For the reviewing editor to verify the accuracy of this information, please see the official links below:

To verify the version (2.5): https://checkmk.com/product/release-notes/2-5-0

To verify the release date (April 28, 2026): https://checkmk.com/company/newsroom/checkmk-25-unifies-monitoring-and-observability-speed-issue-resolution-across-hybrid-environments

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. --Valerio271 (talk) 14:41, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have updated the version. Troels Arvin (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:25, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Troels Arvin Thank you so much for your help in updating the infobox.

Regarding the release date, can I suggest to adjust it to **April 28, 2026** (the official launch date of Release v2.5.0)?

Checkmk frequently releases patch updates, keeping the date of the last major stable release/latest version (April 28) helps keep the infobox accurate and manageable, without requiring constant maintenance for every patch.

For reference, the April 28 release date of version 2.5 can be verified here:

Thank you again for your patience and for keeping the article up to date. Valerio271 (talk) 12:07, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Troels Arvin I promise I’m not trying to test your calendar skills! 😄 Thank you so much for the quick update, really appreciated.

We are almost there: the official release was actually on **April 28** (not May 28).

If you have one more minute to correct it to April 28, I’d be super grateful. Thank you again for your incredible patience with this! Valerio271 (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
