Hello Community!

This Bulletin wil cover not one but 2 months – and what 2 months those were!

This time I wanted to tell you about some of the things that happened in Checkmk Community in April and May

Checkmk News

Checkmk 2.4 Beta

We finished the beta in April, that gave us some time to fix reported bugs.

Thank you to everyone who participated and especially to those who later filled in the beta survey.

Later this year I hope to start another survey on Beta testing and how we could improve it, so stay tuned to help us improve your Beta experience for 2.5!
