Install, update and remove checkmk agent

14. Feb 2026

Hello everyone, in this blog post I want to show my checkmk agent scripts. The scripts are helping me to install, update and remove checkmk agent on windows- and linux-systems. Furthermore these scripts are adding or removing the client-object in the checkmk-Server (via API calls). 

Prerequisites - create automation user

  1. No pending changes open in checkmk instance before running a script.
  2. Open web interface from checkmk server and log-in with admin account.
  3. Create a new User (if not already existent) with the following name: automation
  4. Asign the Role Administrator to the automation-User.

Please follow the link or click on the button to the "checkmk-agent-scripts" repository to download the scripts: https://forgejo.hostlab.tech/suitdeer/checkmk-agent-scripts
