Werk #16324 announced the migration of the NetApp volumes and NetApp snapshots plugins to use the NetApp ONTAP REST-API. This change introduced an incompatibility with existing service names: The NetApp volumes and NetApp snapshots plugins have changed the service name separator from a dot to a colon. Specifically, service names produced by these check plugins now use the format "(Snapshots) Volume {svm_name}:{volume_name}" instead of "(Snapshots) Volume {svm_name}.{volume_name}". Werk #16324 has been updated to reflect this incompatibility.
To address the change in service names, the global setting "Use new service names" has been extended for the affected NetApp plugins. This option allows users to revert to the old service names if needed.
Please note that enabling this option after new services have already been discovered will cause a gap in the monitoring data for the old services during the period when the new services were active. Additionally, this option does not work for services monitoring SVMs or volumes whose names contain a colon. In such cases, the new service names will be retained.
When updating from Checkmk version 2.3, this option will be automatically disabled to keep the old service names. However, a new service discovery is still required to apply the naming changes. By default, the option remains enabled.
