The shipped rule for the ruleset Process discovery that monitors basic
Proxmox processes reported CRIT for the pvescheduler process on Proxmox
nodes.
The pvescheduler daemon regularly starts child processes for replication and
for scheduled jobs, for example backups. The shipped rule allowed exactly one
process, so the service went CRIT while such a child process was running.
The shipped rule now allows up to three processes. During an update, Checkmk corrects the levels of the affected rule automatically.
Incompatibility hint
This automatic correction only applies if you did not change the levels of the rule yourself. The new levels apply only to newly discovered services. To apply them to existing services, run a service discovery on the affected Proxmox nodes and accept the changed parameters.
