Previously, updating to Checkmk 2.5 could abort during the pre-update step OTel collector configuration with:
MKAuthException: We are sorry, but you lack the permission for this
operation. ... 'wato.passwords'
This happened when one of your OTel collector configurations was no longer valid in 2.5, typically a receiver you created with 2.4. Instead of naming the configuration that caused the problem, the update aborted and rolled back, so the only way forward was to find and delete the affected configuration by hand.
The update now reports which configurations are invalid and lets you decide whether to continue or abort.
