  Would also support running CMK in an ARM Linux VM, using on Apple Silicon to develop. So, Developers can switch to the new Macs :)

  I would be nice to have ARM support to monitor small offices without spending much money for hardware.

  This feature would be perfect for several small environments. For example it would be possible to create a small CheckMK box that could monitor a small datacenter and show it's data in a TV connected to itself. I'm really looking for that.

  Not only for raspberry, many cloud provider use arm as possible server architecture. Like hetzner. Its a huge price difference between x86 and arm.

  We have internally split the whole topic into three sub-tasks. Read more about this here: https://checkmk.com/blog/checkmk-our-road-arm-support
  
  We will accordingly create a new 'status' to deal with this suggestion (and a couple of others as well).

  Are guys aware of this project?
  
  https://github.com/chrisss404/check-mk-arm
  
  I believe that the best scenario of arm usage is the deployment using Raspberry Pi.

  Yes, we are aware of this.
  We have to guarantee function safe operation in enterprise environment. The reliability of a monitoring system and the state calculation is something where we can not make any compromises. The mentioned project does not include necessary changes to livestatus, thus use at your own risk.
  If you use this for your home lab or a non-critical environment, I think this is a great project. I just wouldn't use it in an enterprise environment
