Title: Netapp Volume Efficiency
Component: agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
The Netapp Special Agent now monitors the logical used space of a volume.
The logical used space includes unlike the physically used space the space savings
due to deduplication, compression and compaction.
For the saved space and logical used space metrics are generated which are
displayed in a new graph called <b>Space savings</b>.
To be able to use this feature the space enforcement of Netapp cannot be set to logical.

Title: Deprecate configuration of check plugin default levels via .mk file
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
This werk affects users who override the factory default levels of check plugins or other global variables using .mk files when upgrading to Checkmk 2.3.
This way of configuring plugins has not been documented for a long time and will not be supported in Checkmk 2.3.
A warning will be issued when upgrading to any 2.2 version.
These days, we expect all plugins to be configured using the appropriate rules in the GUI setup menu.
You will have to change your configuration before updating to 2.3. These are the required steps:
LI: Remove the definition from your configuration.
LI: Open the UI and navigate to the related check parameter ruleset.
LI: Configure the parameters there.
We understand that enforcing this is an inconvenience for users still using the old way of overriding the default parameters of a specific check plugin.
In the past, we have changed the structure of the data stored in these variables (because it is considered an implementation detail), which would break such configurations.
In addition, the old way of using .mk files will not work for any plugin migrated to the new API anyway.
Rather than accidentally breaking configurations, or removing configuration options ad hoc as plugins are migrated, we are now deprecating this mechanism and removing it with version 2.3.
Not only does this make the code easier to maintain (freeing up resources for more valuable features), but it is also more honest.

Title: SAML: response signature is optional
Component: setup
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
Checkmk required both the response and the assertion statement to be signed in
order to accept an authentication request response from the identity provider.
However, as per the SAML specifications, only the assertion statement signature
is required and the response signature is optional. For this reason,
authentication request responses that only have the assertion statement signed
are now accepted.

Title: Fix minimal session idle timeout in global setting
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.2.0b1

step also the minimal possible value was accidentally set to the same value.
The minimal value has now been set back to 60 seconds as before.

Title: host_tag_group: bring name patterns together
Component: REST API
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.3.0b1
Prior to this werk, the endpoints all had subtle differences in which
string patterns were allowed as ident. This also differed to the pattern
in the UI. This werk fixes this and makes the pattern consistent across
all mentioned.

Title: Partially running site after update
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.3.0b1
During an Checkmk update Checkmk's extention package manager would sometimes reload the site apache, inadvertently starting it.
As a result users would end up with a <i>partially running</i> site.
The relaod is now only done if the apache is running (otherwise we don't need a reload anyway).
