OS version:

**how i ensure checkmk is installed on my server (not just the agent) I want to ensure the server I am using is configured to 1. send email alerts to the emails i put on checkmk website.
2. ensure my checkmk is able to send email alerts **

Output of “cmk --debug -vvn hostname”: (If it is a problem with checks or plugins)

??? not sure if you know anything about linux, it looks like you do not?

Hi @jspaine

a good starting point is probably to work your way through our beginner handbook: Welcome to the Checkmk User Guide

is it possible you could direct me to a particular section.

Hi Jestina,

please don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t want to sound patronizing. But I would say: All of them.

If you were to print out the intro handbook, you would end up with ~60 pages. It’s probably a worthwhile investment of your time to work through those if you are new to Checkmk.

It starts with Setting up Checkmk (which I guess should answer your first question).

Your second question will probably be answered in this section: Switching on notifications

But the sections in between are pretty important, so I really recommend working through them from top to bottom.

i think my issue is my outlook isn’t recieving the messages for some reason so it prob isnt a checkmk thing.

Could this be related?
