1 Title: Improved initial activation step performance in some cases
11 When activating the changed configuration, the first step "Initializing activation" may
12 take a lot of time when there are a lot of files located below the "local" hierarchy of
15 This is caused by a backup mechanism that is executed in this step. It saves snapshots
16 of your WATO configuration (not the whole site nor the whole config of the site) to
17 archives which are located below "var/check_mk/wato/snapshots". These can be used for
18 reverting the changes in the GUI and for recovery of configuration files. This is not
19 primarily a backup mechanism, better use the Check_MK site backup for this task.
21 These archives were also containing the whole local/ hierarchy. In case there are a lot
22 of small files or some larger files in this hierarchy, this slowed down the activation
23 significantly. We've decided to remove those files from the config snapshot now.
