Werk #12034: Distributed monitoring: Prevent remote site connection with [central]_bi sites

Component Setup
Title Distributed monitoring: Prevent remote site connection with [central]_bi sites
Date Feb 1, 2021
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Checkmk versions & editions
2.1.0b1 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)
2.0.0b6 Checkmk Raw (CRE), Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

Checkmk creates NagVis backends for all sites. For each site it creates two backends:

  • [site_id] - Livestatus connection to the sites core
  • [site_id]_bi - Bacned to Checkmk BI for displaying aggregation states

In case one tries to add a site with a Site-ID [central_site]_bi this will result in a name conflict between the central site BI backend and the remote site livestatus backend.

The distributed monitoring configuration prevents adding new remote sites with this name from now on.
