Checkmk Werk 13763: Restructure and extend monitoring of agent plugins and local checks

ID: 13763 Title: Restructure and extend monitoring of agent plugins and local checks Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.2.0i1 Werk <a href="https://checkmk.com/werk/13474">13474</a> introduced the monitoring of agent plugins and local checks via a dedicated check plugin (<tt>checkkmk_agent_plugins</tt>). This has been reworked and extended in multiple ways: <ul> <li>The functionality has been integrated into the plugin <tt>checkmk_agent</tt> (service "Check_MK Agent"). The corresponding configuration options have been integrated into the ruleset "Checkmk Agent installation auditing".</li> <li>Users can now configure separate version requirements for agent plugins and local checks. Analogously, users can now configure two separate exclusion patterns.</li> <li>In case minimum versions are configured, users can also configure the monitoring state for unparsable versions. Previously, Checkmk always reported UNKNOWN in this case.</li> <li>Checkmk now additionally checks for duplicate agent plugins and local checks (separately). In case duplicate files are found, Checkmk reports WARN. This check respects any user-defined exclusion patterns.</li> </ul>
