Werk #7342: Removed legacy_checks configuration variable

Component Core & setup
Title Removed legacy_checks configuration variable
Date Apr 24, 2019
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.6.0b1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

The long time deprecated configuration variable legacy_checks has been removed now. It was replaced by the custom_checks option which is working a bit different.

In case you configured Check_MK only via WATO you will not be affected by this issue, since legacy_checks could only be configured directly in the configuration files.

In case you need to migrate your configuration, you could move the configuration to the WATO ruleset "Classical Active and Passive Monitoring Checks". If you need to migrate the configuration by hand have a look at the CMC migration documentation (https://mathias-kettner.com/cms_cmc_migration.html#legacy_checks) which describes the steps.
