Title	HW/SW Inventory: Do not save inventory tree if Checkmk service calculates status data inventory
Date	Oct 14, 2019
Level	Trivial Change
Class	Bug Fix
Compatibility	Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Checkmk versions & editions	2.0.0i1 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME) 1.6.0p5 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME) 1.5.0p23 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

The {{Checkmk HW/SW Inventory}} service builds up the inventory tree and if {{Do status data inventory}} is configured in the ruleset {{Do hardware/software inventory}} the {{Checkmk}} service builds up the status data tree. Latter one also saved the inventory tree as the {{Checkmk HW/SW Inventory}} service does. This may result in flapping inventory history entries.

Now the inventory tree is only saved by the {{Checkmk HW/SW Inventory}} service and the status data tree is only saved by the {{Checkmk}} service if {{Do status data inventory}} is configured.

Both the commandline {{cmk -vii HOST}} and the {{Checkmk HW/SW Inventory}} service also run inventory hooks.
