This change affects users of the rule 'Check HTTP service (deprecated)', which is used to configure the HTTP monitoring plug-in. The rule was superseded by the introduction of check_httpv2, see Werk #17665.

With this Werk, a new command-line tool is introduced. The details can be found in our blog. The tool helps to migrate between the old and the new rule set. It can be invoked as follows:

OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk-migrate-http -h

The tool can migrate rules configured via Setup. There are three exceptions:

Rules, which have selected the Proxy server option.
Rules, which are not valid and show a validation error, if you open them in the GUI.
Rules, which have been disabled via Rule activation, see # 17742.

Note, this change does not affect cmk-update-config nor omd update in any way. Existing rules are only affected if the tool is explicitely invoked. The existing deprecated rules can also be migrated manually.
