   Description     : general purpose monitoring plugin for retrieving data


Check_mk adopts a new a approach for collecting data from operating systems
and network components. It obsoletes NRPE, check_by_ssh, NSClient and
check_snmp. It has many benefits, the most important of which are:
   * Significant reduction of CPU usage on the monitoring host.
   * Automatic inventory of items to be checked on hosts.

Using this package for a long time and was packaging it just for me.
It would be nice to have it in debian, without configuring extra
repository. It would be nice to have check-mk-agent-team on salsa, where
we can maintain it. On MDC in Regensburg I hear that a lot of people
using it and I have found a sponsor.
Co-maintainers are always welcome. Maybe later it would be nice to
package more check-mk-agent plugins from check-mk exchange.
