A lot of interface checks did exactly the same thing. The new check API allows us to consolidate them into one check plugin "interfaces", without affecting the user.
The following check plugins will be replaced by the new one: "statgrab_net", "emc_vplex_if", "vms_if", "if_brocade", "if_lancom", "ucs_bladecenter_if", "aix_if", "if", "if_fortigate", "hp_msa_if", "if64_tplink".
The transition to the new services is done during cmk-update-config.
Existing rules will apply as before, no metrics will be lost.
It may slightly change the "Service check command" count of the "site_objects_counts" plugin, depending on its configuration.
