Werk #11772: Bring back Agent/SNMP info in 'cmk --list-checks'

Component Checks & agents
Title Bring back Agent/SNMP info in 'cmk --list-checks'
Date Dec 9, 2020
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Checkmk versions & editions
2.1.0b1 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.0.0b2 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

The in Checkmk versions 2.0.0i1 and 2.0.0b1 the TCP/SNMP information had been dropped from the output of cmk --list-checks.

This was due to the fact that check plugins are now neither purely one or the other. We now write "agent" if the check plugin requires an agent data source (e.g. the regular Checkmk linux agent), "snmp" if it reguires an SNMP data source, and "agent/snmp" if it can be discovered with either of the data source types.
