In some cases, agents running on a host can produce piggyback data for exactly this host. In the site, this fact was not made transparent; instead this piggyback data was treated like regular agent data.

With this change, piggyback data produced on a host for itself is treated as such. As a consequence, the cmk/piggyback_source_<hostname>:yes label is added to that host accordingly.
