check_mk: ERROR: Duplicate service description (auto check) '<interface>' for host '<host>'! - 1st occurrence: check plug-in / item: if64 / '<item>' - 2nd occurrence: check plug-in / item: interfaces / '<item>'

To get rid of the duplicated services a new service discovery should be run and the vanished services be removed.
