Hello everyone!

If someone posts an answer to your question, mark it as the **solution**!

That makes it easier for others to  
a) figure out the solution for their own problems  
b) know which topics still need answering

The solutions author will also receive a shiny [badge](https://community.icinga.com/badges) for their profile!

Sometimes the solution would be your own answer!  
So feel free to just pop that solution on yourself 🙂

Other times the way to solving an issue is a very iterative process…  
Having a dedicated solution helps others, with similar issues, resolve the problem quickly.  
It would be totally awesome, if you could write a quick summary in this case.  
Maybe the repetition also helps you understand the process better? 😇

This is covered in the [FAQ](https://community.icinga.com/faq#solution) too, if you want to give them a read!  
Have a nice day!
