This werk is relevant for users using the active check check-http and a Checkmk version that includes werk #16681.
With werk #16681 the limits for the expected response time were scaled incorrectly, leading to large values.
Additionally, the unit of the response time before werk #16681 was stated as milliseconds, while the active check expects it in seconds.
Since the configured timeout is automatically increased to match the response time limits, this results in check-http running for a long time without finishing.
With this werk, if you haven't updated to a version affected by werk #16681 yet, the response time limits are automatically adjusted to seconds. If you are affected by werk #16681, you need to manually check and correct your configuration.
