Title: wmi.include: Check_MK Discovery does not report 'vanished services'
for WMI services if WMI timeout
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 1.5.0p14
If a timeout occurs in a Windows agent section while executing WMI queries the
related services were handled as vanished services by the Check_MK Discovery
service. This may be misleading because this timeout is short-lived.
The WMI query timeouts are a known problem in Windows and can not be solved by
the Check_MK agent. Please see
https://github.com/martinlindhe/wmi_exporter/issues/89 for further information.
Now the Check_MK Discovery does not take WMI timeouts into account. Thus the
Check_MK Discovery does not report "vanished services" any more. The Check_MK
service handles services with WMI timeouts as "stale" further on.
