# Developer Guide: New-IcingaCheckPackage

Below you will find a list of functions and detailed descriptions including use cases for Cmdlets and features the PowerShell Framework provides.

| Type | Return Value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cmdlet | PowerShell Object | Check Object containing other check objects |

The `IcingaCheckPackage` is the first step to take to write more advanced checks. A `IcingaCheckPackage` offers the possibility to build a check containing varius `IcingaChecks`. Just like the `IcingaCheck`, the `IcingaCheckPackage` also provides a bunch of internal commands within the PowerShell Object to analyse a value and get the Icinga result `Ok`, `Warning`, `Critical`. In this case the result of the check package is based on the result of the logical conjunction between added `IcingaChecks` within the `IcingaCheckPackage`

It will be used like in this example:


```powershell
$IcingaPackage = New-IcingaCheckPackage -Name 'My Package' -OperatorAnd;
```
