The WATO Web API is deprecated with this change. The Web API will continue to work with all Checkmk 2.1 releases and removed with Checkmk 2.2.
We recommend migrating all existing scripts that use the Web API to the REST API as soon as possible to catch issues early before you move to Checkmk 2.2.
For users upgrading existing sites from 2.0 to 2.1 nothing will change. However, sites created with 2.1 will be initialized with a disabled Web API by default.
It is possible to enable or disable the Web API manually by using the global setting "Site management > Disable Web API" depending on your needs.
