Title: Memory check plugins: Unify service descriptions
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.7.0i1
Several Memory check plugins have been unified with respect to their service
description, which is now simply "Memory" or "Memory $ITEM$".
In order to use these new service descriptions you have to enable them below
{Global settings}, {Use new service descriptions}. Renaming of existing services
has many implications - including existing rules, performance data and availability
history - these renamings are disabled per default for existing installations.
Here you can switch to the new descriptions for selected check types.
Renaming the services will mean you loose all historic data. If you want to rename
the services but keep the recorded metrics, you have to rename the RRD files in
<tt>~/var/pnp4nagios/perfdata/$HOST$</tt> or
<tt>~/var/check_mk/rrd/$HSOT$</tt>
according to the service name change.
