+Mailcow bietet mittels dem eigenen Update-Script die Möglichkeit zu prüfen ob Updates vorhanden sind.
+
+Sofern mailcow-Updates mittels checkmk abgefragt werden soll, kann man im `local`-Verzeichnis des checkmk-Agents (normalerweise `/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/`) eine ausführbare Datei mit dem Namen `mailcow_update` und nachfolgendem Inhalt erstellen:
+
+````
+#!/bin/bash
+cd /opt/mailcow-dockerized/ && ./update.sh -c >/dev/null
+status=$?
+if [ $status -eq 3 ]; then
+  echo "0 \"mailcow_update\" mailcow_update=0;1;;0;1 No updates available."
+elif [ $status -eq 0 ]; then
+  echo "1 \"mailcow_update\" mailcow_update=1;1;;0;1 Updated code is available.\nThe changes can be found here: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/commits/master"
+else
+  echo "3 \"mailcow_update\" - Unknown output from update script ..."
+fi
+exit
+````
+
+Sofern das mailcow-Installationsverzeichnis nicht `/opt/` ist, ist das in der 2. Zeile anzupassen.
+
+Danach für euren mailcow-Host in checmk die Services neu inventarisieren und es sollte ein neuer Check mit Namen `mailcow_update` auswählbar sein.
+
+## Screenshots
+
+### Keine Updates verfügbar
+
+Sofern keine Updates vorhanden sind, wird `OK` ausgegeben.

+
+### Neue Updates verfügbar
+
+Sofern Updates vorhanden sind, wird `WARN` ausgegeben.
+
+![Updates available](../../assets/images/checkmk/updates_available.png)
+
+Sollte stattdessen `CRIT` gewünscht sein, ist die 7. Zeile durch folgendes zu ersetzen:
+
+````
+  echo "1 \"mailcow_update\" mailcow_update=1;1;;0;1 Updated code is available.\nThe changes can be found here: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/commits/master"

+Mailcow provides the ability to check for updates using its own update script.
+
+If you want to check for mailcow updates using checkmk, you can create an executable file in the `local` directory of the checkmk agent (typically `/usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local/`) with the name `mailcow_update` and the following content:
+
+````
+#!/bin/bash
+cd /opt/mailcow-dockerized/ && ./update.sh -c >/dev/null
+status=$?
+if [ $status -eq 3 ]; then
+  echo "0 \"mailcow_update\" mailcow_update=0;1;;0;1 No updates available."
+elif [ $status -eq 0 ]; then
+  echo "1 \"mailcow_update\" mailcow_update=1;1;;0;1 Updated code is available.\nThe changes can be found here: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/commits/master"
+else
+  echo "3 \"mailcow_update\" - Unknown output from update script ..."
+fi
+exit
+````
+
+If the mailcow installation directory is not `/opt/`, adjust this in the 2nd line.
+
+After that re-inventory the services for your mailcow host in checmk and a new check named `mailcow_update` should be selectable.
