The check parameter ruleset previously titled CPU utilization for appliances has been renamed to CPU utilization (single value).
The old title suggested the ruleset only applied to hardware appliances, but it is shared by a wide range of checks, including cloud resources such as Microsoft Azure virtual machines and databases. The new title reflects that the ruleset configures a single set of levels on one overall CPU utilization value, independent of the underlying device type.
This is a purely cosmetic change. The ruleset's internal name
(cpu_utilization), its parameters and any existing rules are unaffected.
The check manuals of the checks that referenced the rule by its old title have
been updated to the new name.
