Offline Checkmk Documentation

Hello Community!

Our knowledge team and @mschlenker have another update on how to make your Checkmk learning experience even more convenient – now, if you have no internet connection at your station, you can still fully benefit from the Checkmk documentation.

From now on you can download the whole Checkmk documentation and use it fully offline. This version has fully functional search, relative links and allows for switching between languages and Checkmk versions. It is completely static.

How to use

Where to get it: https://docs.checkmk.com/offline/docs.checkmk.com.zip

There are 2 ways in which you can use this offline version:

  1. By deploying it on a local webserver (recommended)

  2. By simply opening the index.html file through the browser. Please not that we only checked it working in the latest Firefox and Chrome and cannot be sure it would work as well in other browsers.

Please note

Due to restrictions to some corporate browser settings, they might not work for everyone. They probably do not work on tablet OS’ at all.
PDF currently is completely out of scope. Building as epub might be considered if there is a significant audience requesting it (see below)

Contact us

  1. If you encounter difficulties with the offline docs on your platform / environments, please provide us with some details – we are considering other additional solutions, and information from you is very important in this

  2. If you have a good use-case for an epub version or an app package (Electron or Cordova), please share with us

As always, your feedback is very welcome – let us know what you think!
