Our User Guide is based on Asciidoctor, formatted with the AsciiDoc markup language, deposited in this GitHub repository and automatically deployed as HTML on docs.checkmk.com. Through this GitHub repository, it is possible to contribute to the creation of the documentation. How this is possible is explained below.
There are bugs and typos even in the best work or a topic is not explained in a dimension that would be sufficient. So if you are interested in making the documentation of Checkmk even better, we are happy to welcome you and of course try to work on corresponding PRs as soon as possible.
