Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required

This Werk affects all users that monitor Checkmk clusters using the services listed below. It mitigates some of the incompatibilites listed in Werk #12908 (please read the werk for full context).

During upgrade from Checkmk 2.0 to 2.1 we add some rules to restore the former behavior of clustered services.

Note:

We can not do this for all affected plugins. The rules match on the service description, not on the plugin names. Consider for instance mrpe: we can't know what your service description looks like.

The following cluster aggregation modes are configured during update (service description pattern / aggregation mode):

  • "Apache .* Status": failover
  • "Site .* statistics": failover
  • "BIG-IP vCMP Guests": worst
  • "Node service .*": best
  • "OMD .* performance": failover
  • "MSSQL .* File Sizes": worst
  • "MSSQL .* Locks": worst
  • "MSSQL .* Locks per Batch": worst
  • "MSSQL .* Page Activity": worst
  • "MSSQL .* Transactions": worst
  • "MSSQL .* Sizes": failover
  • "MSSQL Datafile .*": failover
  • "MSSQL Transactionlog .*": failover
  • "SSL Certificate .*": worst
  • "SAP HANA Disk .*": best
  • "SAP HANA ESS .*": best
  • "SAP HANA Events .*": best
  • "SAP HANA Instance Status .*": best
  • "SAP HANA Memory .*": best
  • "SAP HANA Process .*": best
  • "SAP HANA Replication Status .*": best

Please review the rules to see if they suit your needs.
