Title: Deprecating NSCA as part of Checkmk
Component: Other Components
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 2.2.0i1
With Checkmk 2.1 we officially deprecate the component NSCA which has
traditionally been a part of Checkmk but was rarely used. In 2.1 it will work
as before and be removed with Checkmk 2.2.
If you are a user of NSCA with Checkmk an alternative solution depends on your
specific use case. You could try to use local plugins with the Checkmk agent
(https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/agent_linux.html#mrpe) or utilize the spool
directory mechanism of the agent #16 (https://checkmk.com/werk/16).
If you can't find a good replacement for your use case, please contact us via
your support contact.

Title: Agent bakery: Windows agent MSI is not signed anymore
Component: agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.2.0i1
Previously, provided by the WATO MSI file with Windows agent
retained a digital code signature from the original MSI file.
Because, in fact, the MSI file is a patched( rebuilt )
version of the original file from the distro, Windows
considered this signature to be invalid. Having a wrong signature
is worse than having no signature at all. Since we have currently
no mechanism to sign MSI files in the bakery, we removed the
signature completely from these files.
Since this release, WATO bakes agent's MSI using the unsigned
version of the MSI file, thus solving the problem.
