Title: df mounts: Skip docker mounts for name resolution
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i4
When docker containers are configured to perform name resolution there are
mounts at /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts which are not relevant
to be monitored. These checks are now always skipped.

Title: Hosts can now be configured without IP address
Component: Core & setup
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i4
It is now possible to configure hosts in Check_MK that have no IP address configured.
This is useful e.g. in case a host is only monitored using piggyback data from another
host.
In previous versions of Check_MK a fake IP address had to be configured for each host
to prevent warning messages during config generation and during monitoring.
To configure a host without IP, simply set the "IP address family" attribute of a host
to "No IP".
The host check of these hosts will always report "UP" by default. To override this, you
can use the rule set "Host check command".

Title: df: Exclude docker local storage mounts on docker nodes
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i4
The df check is now excluding all filesystems found below
<tt>/var/lib/docker</tt>, which is the default location for
the docker container local storage.
Depending on the used storage engine docker creates overlay
filesystems and mounts below this hierarchy for the started
containers.
The filesystems are not interesting for our monitoring. They
will be monitored from the container context.

Title: lnx_if: Exclude veth* network interfaces on docker nodes
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.5.0i4
The veth* network interfaces created for docker containers are now
excluded by the linux agent in all cases. The interface names have no
direct match with the docker container name or ID. They seem to have
some kind of random nature.
These container specific interfaces are not relevant to be monitored
on the node. We are monitoring the docker network interfaces in the
container.

Title: lnx_thermal: Disabled in docker container contexts
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i4
These checks do not make sense in the context of a docker container.
The agent is now skipping this section when executed in a container.

Title: docker_container_cpu: Check the CPU utilization of a docker container
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i4
This check reports the percentage CPU utilization of a docker container.
Unlike the Linux CPU utilization check (kernel.util) it does only report
user and system time. More detailed values, like iowait, are not available.
