| Title | Distributed monitoring: Improve version compatibility validation |
| Date | Oct 21, 2021 |
| Checkmk Edition | Checkmk Raw (CRE) |
| Checkmk Version | 2.1.0b1 |
| Level | Trivial Change |
| Class | New Feature |
| Compatibility | Compatible - no manual interaction needed |
In distributed setups with sites using different Checkmk versions we can not ensure that all versions are compatible with each other. To clarify the compatibility between version we've now added more version checks that ensure the central and remote sites are using compatible versions.
Allowed are connections:
- Between same major versions (e.g. 2.0.0p1 central to 2.0.0p3 remote site)
- From previous to newer major version (e.g. 1.6.0 central to 2.0.0 remote site)
Disallowed are connections:
- From pre-pre to new major version (e.g. 1.6.0 central to 2.1.0 remote site)
- From new to old (e.g. 2.0.0p1 central to 1.6.0p21 remote site)
- Between CME and other editions
