Title: mk_logwatch: no longer resolve symlinks
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
Symbolic links of logfiles no longer get resolved to the actual path.
Some log file paths might change on a daily basis, so resolving symlink paths could result in missing files for the software.
This will now be avoided by this fix.

Title: ps - Size of processes: Change graph visual display order
Component: Multisite
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
For graphs of "ps" containing information about "Size of processes" the visual orderning of the graphs is fixed.
Before "Resident size" and "Virtual Size" were stacked on top of each other, which was wrong.
Resident size is a subset of virtual size. The data of the graph "Resident size" is now visually in front of the other graphs.

Title: Agent bakery: Automatically build agents for created hosts
Component: agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
After creating a new host in the configuration, the agent baking process for
the new host is triggered now. When multiple hosts are created at once, for
example using the API or an import mechanism, one baking process is started for
all of these hosts.
The process is started as a background job, just like when a bake process is
started manually. With the single difference that the process only cares about
the newly added hosts. You can see the process or result message when accessing
the Agent Bakery page in your Configuration.

Title: apc_rackpdu_power: Discover correct bank numbers
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.7.0i1
This werk corrects the bank numbers in the service descriptions of the check
<tt>apc_rackpdu_power<\tt> (services "PDU Bank ..."). These numbers were
incorrect.
This werk is incompatible. Users have to re-discover the services of affected
hosts.

Title: Resolving of plugins default parameters during discovery
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
This werk only affects users that use an *.mk file in etc/check_mk/conf.d/ to override
the default parameters of a check plugin.
Previously the reference to this variable was saved in the autochecks, such that the value of
corresponding variable was determined just before each execution of the check plugin.
Now the value of the variable is evaluated during discovery, and the resulting value will be
saved in the autochecks and used for every subsequent execution of the check plugin.
Autochecks that have references to variable names in them will be converted during the update
process to Checkmk 1.7 or by running `cmk-update-config -v` manually.
Users that use an etc/check_mk/conf.d/*.mk file to set these default parameters are encouraged
to configure an appropriate WATO rule instead.

Title: cisco_prime_wifi_access_points: New check plugin which monitors Cisco Prime WiFi access points
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
This check returns {{OK}} when the percentage of non-operational access points
does not rise above configurable levels.
Default values are {{(20%, 40%)}}.
It shows the total number of access points as well as the number of
access points marked {{Critical}}, {{Minor}} or {{Cleared}}.
The needed {{cisco_prime_wifi_access_points}} sections are generated by
{{agent_cisco_prime}} which has to be configured to fetch the required data
through the Cisco Prime API by providing the respective URL and connection
credentials.

Title: ps: Add option to specify minimum age of processes
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
This werk adds the option to specify a minimum age for processes monitored
by the check <tt>ps<\tt>. This can be done either when configuring the default
parameters for the discovered services of the <tt>ps<\tt>-check (rule "Process
Discovery") or directly via the rule "State and count of processes".
