Werk #9642: Support new update arguments for Checkmk

Component Firmware
Title Support new update arguments for Checkmk
Date Feb 5, 2026
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.7.16

Starting with Checkmk 2.5.0 new arguments become available for updating a site (see Werk 18154 for details). The Checkmk Appliance utilizes these new arguments starting with this Werk.

This ensures that the pre-flight check is OK before actually updating to a different version.

We strongly recommend users to update to an up-to-date firmware version before updating the first site to Checkmk 2.5.0.
