# Contributing

If you have any issues or ideas for improvement you can contact me in the [CMK forum](https://forum.checkmk.com/) by sending me a direct message to `@thl-cmk` (this is the prefered way) or send an email to _thl-cmk[at]outlook[dot]com_.

Please include:
- your CMK version/edition
- your environment (stand alone or distributed)
- the OS of your CMK server(s)
- the version of the plugin
- the crash report (if any)


For agent based plugins I might need also the agent output of the plugin.
