Checkmk Cloud provides you Checkmk as Software as a Service (SaaS).
You can find out what characterizes Checkmk Cloud (SaaS), also in comparison to its self-hosted siblings such as Checkmk Cloud (Self-hosted), in a separate article, which will be linked here as soon as it is written.
As a monitoring software, Checkmk offers comprehensive and specialized solutions for dealing with the very diverse environments of IT infrastructures. This inevitably requires a very comprehensive documentation which goes beyond the mere description of the obvious. Our User Guide will help you as much as possible to better understand Checkmk, to implement solutions for your requirements with Checkmk, as well as helping you to discover new approaches of solving problems.
To make the handling of Checkmk as easy as possible, the articles in this User Guide follow rather unusual approaches in many places. It is almost never a matter of simply copying a prefabricated sequence of individual steps. Rather, it is intended to give you, the reader, a deeper understanding of a feature in Checkmk.
To briefly summarize, our most important premise is that the User Guide should be helpful. And it is most helpful when you can translate our description as a blueprint into a solution for your own problem. Read more…
