Title: Dynamic configuration: Add connector plugin API
Component: DCD
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
The Dynamic configuration is now loading plugins that are located below
the path <tt>local/lib/check_mk/cee/dcd/plugins/connectors/</tt>.
You can find a minimal example connector implementation it in your site at
<tt>lib/check_mk/cee/dcd/plugins/connectors/example_connector.py</tt>. You may
use this as base for your own connectors. To enable this connector, you need to
copy it to the plugin directory mentioned above and uncomment the registry
registration lines in the plugin (See TODO).
To be able to configure connections based on this connector in the GUI, you
also need to deploy a GUI plugin. An example can be found in your site at
<tt>lib/check_mk/gui/cee/plugins/wato/example_dcd_connector.py</tt>. This
needs to be placed in the WATO plugin directory of your site. You also need to
uncomment the registry registration line in the plugin (See TODO).

Title: CSV/JSON/Python exports of views: improve formatting of labels
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
When exporting a view using %output_format=csv|json|python labels would not
get exported properly (concatenated key/value pairs like
"key1:value1key2:value2").
This fix turns the export for labels into raw data structures like
{'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'}.

Title: Correct handling of unsorted time periods for availability timelines
Component: Livestatus
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
Checkmk now handles unsorted time periods correctly when displaying
availability timelines. For example, before, the time period
10:10 - 10:15, 10:00 - 10:05
would end up as 10:10 - 10:15, so checkmk dropped the second, earlier
range.

Title: Windows agent service can be set in mode delayed auto start
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
Any Windows service can be marked as <tt>Automatic (Delayed Start)</tt>.

for example.

file or WATO.

Title: cisco_vpn_sessions: rename item "SVC" --> "AnyConnect SVC"

As a follow-up of werk #11152, this werk renames the item "SVC" of the check

the services of affected hosts for this to come into effect and potentially
adjust any corresponding rules.
