# checkmk_manage_service

Operator defaults are intentionally low-precedence; inventory and explicit run options may override them.

```yaml
---

checkmk_linux_service_name: cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service
checkmk_linux_socket_name: check-mk-agent.socket
checkmk_windows_service_name: ''
checkmk_windows_service_candidates:
  - Check_MK_Agent
  - CheckmkService
  - Checkmk Service
```

## Structured result integration

Current reporting behavior and field semantics are specified in
[scripts/docs/OPERATION_RESULTS.md](../../scripts/docs/OPERATION_RESULTS.md).
The calling catalog playbook owns publication; helper roles do not implicitly export
arbitrary facts, module results or debug data. Existing defaults above retain their
precedence. See the current validation/sanity documents before using the new candidate.
