Previously, agent rules that defined the "cmk/site" host label as a matching condition matched:

All hosts if the condition was cmk/site:{current_site} where {current_site} is the name of the site you are currently accessing.
No hosts if you specified any other cmk/site value

With this werk, we fixed an underlying bug where in the rule matching, all hosts were assigned the cmk/site:{current_site} label regardless of what site the host is being monitored on.

Hosts now properly report the site they're being monitored on as the cmk/site label value.

Note: Werk #17335 already attempted to address this problem but was ineffective.

Attention, incompatible change:

This changes which hosts are affected by agent rules matching on the cmk/site label. If you have any agent rules matching on the cmk/site host label, your agent bakery is affected:

Any agent rules matching on the cmk/site host label of the current site now no longer match hosts of ALL sites, only on hosts of the current site.

Any agent rules matching on the cmk/site host label of other sites now no longer match on hosts of the current site, only on hosts of that other site.

Example: If you are logged into your central site "central" and bake agents with an agent rule that applies to hosts with label cmk/site:remote, the rule would never have been active before this werk.
