 Check_MK Plugins
 ================
 
+This is a collection of plugins for the [Check_MK Monitoring system](http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk.html)
+that I wrote.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+To build all the plugins, clone this repository and run:
+
+    make all
+
+(Make sure to have Python3 installed.)
+
+You can also build a single plugin, e.g.:
+
+    make check_hls
+
+The files (*.mkp) will be written into the `build/` directory.
+
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+SSH into your Check_MK machine, change to the user of the site you want to install the plugin,
+then run:
+
+    mkp install /path/to/plugin.mkp
+
