Behaviour in the previous version: If a snmp host should be inventorized it was checked with the full palette of all available snmp inventory functions. The filtering of unwanted checktypes was done afterwards. This caused needless snmp queries towards the snmp host.

The filtering of unwanted checktypes is now done before the snmp host is contacted.

Note: This only applies to the WATO rule Disabled checktypes respectively the parameters ignored_checktypes and ignored_checks, but not to Disabled services. The latter one matches to service descriptions which are the result of a successful inventory.
