Checkmk Pro now monitors the site's own data backend. On every site where a self-hosted data backend is configured, you get the new service OMD <site> data backend.
The service goes OK if the data backend's ping endpoint responds with status 200. It goes CRIT if the connection fails or the backend reports another status. The error or the response body appears in the service details.
Editions other than Pro are not affected and operate as they did before.
