Title: Consolidation of interface check plugins
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 2.1.0i1
A lot of interface checks did exactly the same thing. The new check API allows us to
consolidate them into one check plugin {{interfaces}}, without affecting the user.
The following check plugins will be replaced by the new one:
{{statgrab_net}}, {{emc_vplex_if}}, {{vms_if}}, {{if_brocade}}, {{if_lancom}},
{{ucs_bladecenter_if}}, {{aix_if}}, {{if}}, {{if_fortigate}}, {{hp_msa_if}},
{{if64_tplink}}.
The transition to the new services is done during `cmk-update-config`.
Existing rules will apply as before, no metrics will be lost.
It may slightly change the "Service check command" count of the
{{site_objects_counts}}
plugin, depending on its configuration.
