In larger organisations a user may not always have access to the cmk-update-agent.state file. This makes it hard to detect a mismatch between the registered hostname and the actual hostname in checkmk.
Now the registered host name is shown along other agent information in the "Check_MK Agent" service.
When the configured host name for the agent updater and the host name in Checkmk do not match, the service will show both and go to CRIT.
