The service discovery page of WATO was terminating the service discovery on the first error, independent of which discovery function raised the error. In this situation a single broken check could break the service discovery functionality of WATO.

On the command line (cmk -I) the default behavious is to proceed with the other discovery function when a single discovery function fails. This is now the default behavior of the WATO discovery page.
