Title: New option to share views, dashboards and report definitions
Component: Multisite
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
This feature was requested via the feature portal:
https://features.checkmk.com/suggestions/297892/make-dashboards-also-mkpable
You now have the option to export views, dashboards and reports (so called
visuals). They can be downloaded, versioned, and shared with other Checkmk
installations.
The following example describes the new feature for views (it works the same
way for all types):
Users with permission "Manage Extension Packages (MKPs)" will see a new icon
for exporting the related view within "Customize" - "Views" for any none builtin
view.
If you use this icon, a new view will appear within the new section
"Extensions" and a file will be created within
'~/local/lib/check_mk/gui/plugins/views'.
Local files for dashboards will be stored in
'~/local/lib/check_mk/gui/plugins/view/dashboard', for reports they will be
stored in '~/local/lib/check_mk/gui/plugins/view/reports'.
With the 2 icons in the section "Extensions" you can go to the extension
package module and create an extension package or remove the related view from
the extension package page. The later will remove the file in the mentioned
local directory and the view from the "Extensions" section.
The "Extension" section also shows the state for each exported view, like "This
view can be packaged with the extension packages module." if the view was
exported and "This view is provided via the MKP 'MY_MKP'." if the view is part
of an installed extension package.
If the view is part of an extension package, you have the option to clone and
customize it.

Title: Automatic creation and registration of hosts
Component: Setup
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
Users of the Checkmk Cloud Edition can now create an agent package that will automatically add the host to the monitoring upon installation.
If monitoring site and agent package are configured accordingly, the agent controller will contact the (remote) monitoring site, and post a request for registration.
The (central) site will then process this request according to its configuration and potentially create a new host in the monitoring, discover the services and start monitoring it.
Details can be found in the <a href="https://docs.checkmk.com/2.2.0/en/hosts_autoregister.html">user manual</a>.

Title: New agent configuration: Push mode
Component: agents
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 2.3.0b1
Users of the Checkmk Cloud Edition now have a new mode of operation for the agent controller at their disposal:
The "<i>Push mode</i>".
In the push mode, the Checkmk agent sends the monitoring data to the Checkmk server once per minute.
The agent pushes the data transmission on its own and does not wait for a request from the server.
The push mode is always required if the Checkmk server cannot access the network in which the host to be monitored and its agent are located, for example, in a cloud-based configuration.
More on the setup can be found in our <a href="https://docs.checkmk.com/2.2.0/en/agent_linux.html">user manual</a>.
