I recently found out that more and more windows laptops are shipped with arm processors. So I did a little bit of digging and there is a windows 11 iso for arm so I was wondering can I run it on my Mac? so I created a VM using UTM and installed Windows 11 on my Macbook M4. Windows 11 for arm comes with an x86\_64 emulator and I was wondering, can it run icinga? The answer is yes. Icinga2 x86\_64 run on Windows 11 Arm, installed as usual using the powershell framework, with the powershell service and the ifw-api feature. It works very smooth for the dummy checks, but my question is: Will there be any official ARM binaries for windows in the future? Best Regards Nicolas ---

I dont think it will happen anytime soon, as the icinga clients have always been aiming for servers. Looking at the Support Matrix, icinga2 is supported only on Windows Server 2016-2025 - but not Windows 11 (on which it does run anyways). So, i guess there might be official ARM binaries once microsoft decides to release Windows Server ARM. But as you know, i am not working for icinga, so thats all pure speculatius. ---

Hey there! We just had a chat internally and I want to thank you for pointing that out. It’s something we’re evaluating - Christian just added this to his slides for his OSMC talk 😉 You’ll be there too, right? ---

In five minutes, I’ll show you how I do it. From a monitoring perspective, there are also a few things to consider, such as measuring the temperature and the thickness of the schnitzel. ---

Haha, yes, I saw your talks’ page a few weeks ago. If I provide you with a kitchen, will you give a Schitzel making live demo too? 🤔 ---
