Component Setup
Title Distributed environments: Improve config synchronization
Date May 7, 2020
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 2.0.0i1
Level Major Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

Synchronizing configurations between the central and remote sites has taken too much time in the past because the entire configuration was always synchronized. Even files that are still present on the remote site were completely synchronized, which led to increased computing effort, traffic and runtime.

This mechanism has now been replaced by an incremental mechanism. Before each synchronization, the system determines which files already exist on the remote site. Only those files are synchronized that differ from the central site.

Note that for migration purposes, remote sites should be upgraded before the central site is upgraded. It is not supported to run a set-up in which the central site runs on a newer Checkmk version than the remote sites. See werk
