Werk #11243: Bulk Dicovery: Align caching options with discovery page

Component Setup
Title Bulk Dicovery: Align caching options with discovery page
Date Aug 22, 2020
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 2.0.0i1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

On the "Bulk Discovery" WATO page you could set the options "Use cached data if present" and "Do full SNMP scan for SNMP devices". The latter one had no effect since Checkmk version 1.5.0. The idea behind the option "Do a full SNMP scan" was contacting the SNMP device and ignoring existing caches. This behaviour is implemented behind the option "Do a full service scan" on the "WATO Discovery" page.

Moreover the "Bulk Discovery" page was inconsistent with the "WATO Discovery" page - independent of above options. Thus we removed both options "Use cached data if present" and "Do full SNMP scan for SNMP devices" and add the option "Do a full service scan" in order to adapt the behaviour to the discovery page. Now both pages work the same way.

Please note: With this new option a service scan of SNMP devices may take more time as before because now this device will be contacted for real.
