ID: 4236 Title: Removed g_hostname and g_service_description from Check API Component: Checks & agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 1.4.0i4 In previous versions the check and inventory plugins of Check_MK could use the variable <tt>g_hostname</tt> to refer to the host that is currently being checked and <tt>g_service_description</tt> to get the description of the service that is currently being checked. Instead of those variables, you can now use the functions <tt>host_name()</tt> and <tt>service_description()</tt>
