| Component | Checks & agents |
| Title | Interface checks: Introduce scan function API |
| Date | Mar 8, 2019 |
| Checkmk Edition | Checkmk Raw (CRE) |
| Checkmk Version | 1.6.0b1 |
| Level | Trivial Change |
| Class | New Feature |
| Compatibility | Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required |
In the past conflicting check plugins with services called Interface <ITEM>
could lead to a "duplicate services" warning on the discovery page.
To avoid this issue in the future, an API is now provided:
If you add a new Interface <ITEM>- service, please add register the
scan function by decorating it with the line
@network_interface_scan_registry.register.
The matching devices will then be automatically excluded from the generic
if and if64 check plugins.
