Checkmk Werk 11367: Enforcing 32-bit interface checks is now done by disabling if64 SNMP section

ID: 11367 Title: Enforcing 32-bit interface checks is now done by disabling if64 SNMP section Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.0.0i1 This werk is only relevant for users who are currently using the ruleset "Hosts forced to use 'if' instead of 'if64'". The rule "Include or exclude SNMP sections", which allows users to disable individual SNMP sections, will now replace the more specific rule for enforcing the usage of the 32- instead of the 64-bit interface check ("Hosts forced to use 'if' instead of 'if64'"). As of this werk, the latter rule is deprecated. To make Checkmk fall back to the 32-bit interface check, use "Include or exclude SNMP sections" to disable the corresponding 64-bit section (mostly <tt>if64</tt>). This werk is incompatible only for users who actually activated the rule "Hosts forced to use 'if' instead of 'if64'". As described above, such users have to deactivate the section <tt>if64</tt>, otherwise, upon re-discovery, Checkmk will start to use the check plugin <tt>if64</tt> instead of <tt>if</tt>. Note that besides the check plugin <tt>if64</tt>, the rule "Hosts forced to use 'if' instead of 'if64'" could also be used to make Checkmk use <tt>if</tt> instead of <tt>if_brocade</tt> and <tt>if_lancom</tt>. This option is still available, however, in these two particular cases, users will have to deactivate both the sections <tt>if_brocade</tt>/<tt>if_lancom</tt> and <tt>if64</tt>. If only the former were deactivated, Checkmk would fall back to <tt>if64</tt>.
