1 Title: Fixed filtering check plugins for the management board and the host itself
11 In order to decide which check is used for which data source
12 we have to filter the found check plugins. This is done via
13 the check_info key "management_board". There are three values
14 with the following meanings:
17 - are only used for management board data sources,
18 - have the prefix 'mgmt_' in their name,
19 - have the prefix 'Management Interface:' in their service description.
20 - If there is an equivalent host check plugin then it must be 'HOST_ONLY'.
23 - Default value for all check plugins.
24 - It does not have to be declared in the check_info.
25 - Special situation for SNMP management boards:
26 - If a host is not a SNMP host these checks are used for
27 the SNMP management boards.
28 - If a host is a SNMP host these checks are used for
33 - are used for 'real' host data sources, not for host management board data sources
34 - there is an equivalent 'MGMT_ONLY'-management board check plugin.
37 Migration from 1.4 to 1.5:
38 in 1.4 TCP hosts with SNMP management boards discovered TCP and
39 SNMP checks, eg. uptime and snmp_uptime. During checking phase
40 these checks should be executed
42 In versions >= 1.5 there are management board specific check
43 plugins, eg. mgmt_snmp_uptime.
44 After a re-discovery Check_MK finds the uptime check plugin for
45 the TCP host and the mgmt_snmp_uptime check for the SNMP
46 management board. Moreover Check_MK eliminates 'HOST_ONLT'
47 checks like snmp_uptime.
