If you have set useful aliasses for you Linux multipath devices then you can now have Check_MK use these instead of the UUIDs for the service description. This makes alerting, BI aggregates and other stuff easier. The configuration is via a new rule set Linux Multipath Inventory. If you are now using WATO then please refer to the check's man page for details.
