This works in several views, like {{All hosts}}. That way can get to know the
address of a host without going to its detail page.

Title: Cleaned up handling of setting Livestatus AuthUser for "see all" users
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
This change affects only users which have the "general.see_all" permission, normally Administrators
and Guests. But the most affected users will be the admins.
Previous Check_MK versions had the options "Visibility of Hosts/Services" and
"Visibility of Hosts/Services (Webservice)" which could be set in the user profile. These options
could be used by all users which have the "see all" permission to limit the shown hosts and services
to only the ones which they are really a contact for.
The later option has been deprecated now. It was first integrated to make users of external tools
like Nagstamon, which fetches it's list of host and service problems from the Check_MK webservice,
be able to show only the the problems of their hosts and services.
But this option also had a side effect: When it is enabled and the option "Visibility of Hosts/Services"
was not enabled, the admin could see all hosts/services in the GUI but when executing a CSV export
he was only getting the hosts/services he is a contact for.
To fix this situation we decided to deprecate the "Visibility of Hosts/Services (Webservice)" and
replace it with a URL variable which can be used to filter each page individually. The new URL
variable <tt>force_authuser</tt> can be used on any view and set to:
<ul>
<li><tt>1<tt> to show only the hosts/services the user is a contact for</li>
<li><tt>0<tt> to show all hosts/services</li>
<li><tt>[username]<tt> to show all hosts/services the given user is a contact for</li>
</ul>
The now deprecated option will still be working as before but you are recommended to uncheck
the option and use the new mechanism. If you are using it for Nagstamon you will need to
use a Nagstamon 2.0 release newer than ALPHA-20160307 once it is available.

Title: Change default setting of Precompile aggregations on demand to ON now
Component: BI
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.2.9i1
The global setting {{Precompile aggregations on demand}} improves the
performance of BI in case where not all aggregations are needed at once. This
is especially true for the case of single-host aggregations. This setting
now exists for a long time and we have finally regarded that feature as
stable enough in order to make it the default.
We might remove the setting from WATO totally in future.

Title: Fix performance issue when many BI aggregations are active
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: Bug Fix
Version: 1.2.9i1
If you have created 1000 or more aggregations and show a view with many
hosts or services than you could get massive performance and memory problems
in your Apache process. The reason is the computation of the BI icon in the
drop down menus of hosts and services. This was only done in order to
check the visibility of the menu itself. The menu is now always visible
and thus the computation is not longer neccessary.
