There were problems with the old SQL in mk_oracle for the RMAN check. The result are a lot of false alarms. This issue has been fixed with a new strategy in selecting the data.
A positive side effect is the ability to monitor level 0+1 backups in different checks. It is possible to monitor a weekly level 0 and daily level 1 backup with 2 different checks.
Incompatible change:
This is an incompatible Change when ORA <DB_NAME>.DB_INCR are used in the past. The checkname
has been changed to <DB_NAME>.DB_INCR_0 and <DB_NAME>.DB_INCR_1 when
level 1 backups are used.
This change requires a modification of existing rules due to change names for the checks.
Please don't forget to rediscover the RMAN checks.
There is a global variable which can be used to switch to the old behavior. Details are documented in the manpage.
