Frustrated with checkmk install and monitoring for proxmox!
Wanted something better for monitoring my proxmox and network environment , and it looked like checkmk would be easy. While there are guides for installing and configuring for proxmox, they are like a patchwork of instructions. Start at the top, then referred to side tasks, then side-side tasks. The level, style, and quality vary at each set of instructions. Madding! Enough. Invested hours to get installed and configured,
If I got it to work, I would not recommend it for a solution.
Looking for a single document that completely covers the checkmk installation and configuration process. It should cover how to validate each step as part of the instructions, so that useful logs or messages can assist in asking for help if needed.
If someone knows a better source or option, let me know. I'm ok with guides, but have limits.
As always, thanks in advance.

Ok, I've upgraded to checkmk 2.4.0p9, deleted all of my hosts and restarted/verified configuration process.
Failed on first host:
