# Checkmk update agent [(Download the MKP package)](/../../../-/raw/master/agent_checkmk_update.mkp "Download MKP package")
---

This special agent will check once a day if a new Checkmk version is available. To use this check you need to configure the special agent "checkmk_update" (Setup -> Agents -> Other integrations -> Checkmk update) on your Checkmk server. The agent reads its data form the Checkmk download page **https://download.checkmk.com/stable_downloads.json**.

THX to baris.leenders[at]tribe29 for providing the data as JSON download and martin.hirschvogel[at]tribe29 for supporting the development of this plugin

**NOTE**: before updating from the old agent_checkmk_download agent, remove the agent_checkmk_download package completely (rules and package) please. You also need to delete the `~/tmp/check_mk/cache/cmk_downloads` cache file.
