When upgrading to Checkmk 2.5, the update process might raise the following exception in the ruleset validation that certain site selections are not valid:

Site to register with: The value 'sitename' has type str, but does not match any of the available choice types.

This error could be safely ignored by continuing.

With this Werk, we update the configuration to allow the upgrade to 2.5 to have all the informations it needs such that the warning no longer occurs.
