Hi,

it looks like you followed all the steps from this article: Checkmk extension packages (MKPs) - Integrating extensions from the community into Checkmk

And I am guessing you are referring to this MKP: Checkmk Exchange

This was developed for version 2.0. It could be that there are some incompatibilities. There were quite a few changes introduced to the MKP handling with 2.2. See the slides from this talk (p 25ff): https://conference.checkmk.com/application/files/9416/8864/9109/Conf9_New_in_2.2_Check_Engine_and_More.pdf

Hereā€™s the corresponding video: https://youtu.be/btKutBnsTqg?si=FHPf7i7ejMmRDBgM&t=1270

But thatā€™s just speculation.

3

Same thing occurs with check_mk_extensions/apcaccess at cmk2.2 Ā· HeinleinSupport/check_mk_extensions Ā· GitHub so donā€™t think so.

4

(sigh)

If you run mkp with ā€˜-dā€™ it spits out whats actually wrong, which was a permissions error with the file.

Shouldnā€™t this come out normally ?

5

After mkp add you have to mkp enable the package.

Thanks, but I already read the manual. ā€˜listā€™ after ā€˜addā€™ should it installed but not enabled, but I though I was clear in OP that it lists nothing.

This is trivial to replicate - download a .mkp, chmod 000 it, and try to add it. No error is displayed, unless you add -d.

Where can I file bugs ?
