Title	omd update: Unconditionally save omd config
Date	Feb 20, 2025
Level	Trivial Change
Class	Bug Fix
Compatibility	Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Checkmk versions & editions	2.5.0b1 Not yet released Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME) 2.4.0b1 Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME) 2.3.0p28 Checkmk Enterprise (CEE), Checkmk Cloud (CCE), Checkmk MSP (CME)

During the update, the omd configuration file etc/omd/site.conf can change. Examples of this are

• adding default parameters for new services and
• changing ports, which are occupied by a different site.

omd marks the stage at which it can no longer abort the update via this message:

Completed verifying site configuration. Your site now has version {version}.

However, there might still be errors, which prevent configuration from being updated, and which are indicated during the final part of the update with an 'ERROR' message. Previously, omd would not save its own configuration file etc/omd/site.conf in such cases. This may be observed if changing editions with omd update, and the user chooses to ignore a conflict and continue the update.
