Title Active checks: Autodetect active checks which have a WATO configuration page

Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 2.0.0i1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

It is now possible to override the builtin active checks by copying them to the local hierarchy of the monitoring site. Checks created with the "WATO > Host & service parameters > Active checks" rulesets are now automatically using active checks in the local hierarchy when they are available.

If you want to use your own path defined via $USER*$ then you have to copy the check file "share/check_mk/checks/check_ACTIVE_CHECK_NAME" to the local hierarchy, ie. "local/share/check_mk/checks/check_ACTIVE_CHECK_NAME" and adapted the "command_line" within this file: "command_line": "$USER*$/check_ACTIVE_CHECK_NAME $ARG1$",
