Title: Warn if host has tag "Always use and expect piggback data" and no piggyback data is available
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
If a host has the tag {{Always use and expect piggback data}} but no piggyback
data is available the {{Check_MK}} service returns a WARNING.
If a host has the tag {{Use piggyback data from other hosts if present}} then
the {{Check_MK}} service does not warn if there's no piggyback data available.
The same applies to the tag {{Never use piggyback data}}.

Title: Performace update for RRD on high resolution
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
When the resolution of RRD files is increased it could lead to potential
delays in rendering of the graphs. This werk separates the tasks of
flushing the RRD files and querying them for data, which leads to a
performance increase.

Title: Distributed Agent Updates
Component: agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
It is now possible to deploy baked agents via remote sites within a distributed
monitoring configuration. Prerequisites for this feature are a monitoring setup
using distributed WATO and the possibility to establish a connection from remote
sites to the central site via HTTP/HTTPS.
This feature is realized as follows: Update requests to the remote sites
get forwarded to the central site – The entire configuration and the agent
baking process is done on the central site. Agent packages that got requested
once at a remote site will get cached (as long as they are valid) there to save
unnecessary traffic. Additionally, the requested data will be checked for consistency
on the remote site, again to save unnecessary traffic to the central site.
In contrast to a single-site-setup, the update server for a host doesn't come exclusively
from the agent updater ruleset, but gets transmitted to the host on it's registration and
update requests. A host will receive the Checkmk site that it is monitored on as it's
update server.
Putting this together, an input of a Checkmk-server is only needed once on registration.
If a connection to the automatic update server is failing, the previously saved server
(from agent updater ruleset or from manual registration) will be contacted as a
fallback.
This feature also introduces a faciliated agent updater ruleset configuration - especially
when it comes to HTTPS handling - and some additional global settings that have to
be configured to enable the distributed agent updates.
All new or adapted configuration values get migrated in a way that maintains the behavior
of an existing agent updater ruleset.
For details about configuration and how to enable (or disable) this new feature, please
have a look at the <a href="https://checkmk.com/cms_agent_deployment.html"> Automatic Agent Updates</a>
article at the official Checkmk guide.
