For new installations (using WATO), the former "Check_MK inventory" service has been renamed to "Check_MK Discovery". This has been done to clarify the difference between the service discovery (find new things to monitor) and the hw/sw inventory.

Existing installations are not affected by default, but can switch to the new name by checking "Monitor hosts for unchecked services (Check_MK inventory)" in the Global Setting "Use new service descriptions".
