Title check_http: Use HTTPS instead of HTTP in service description for SSL/TLS connections
Date Oct 26, 2017
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.5.0i1
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required

For Check HTTP checks the service description now uses HTTPS instead of HTTP if a connection via SSL/TLS is used. This makes it easy to distinguish if a Check uses HTTP or HTTPS for a connection.

This feature is automatically enabled for new Check_MK installations. If you upgrade an existing Check_MK installation you have to enable it in the global settings via the option "Use new service descriptions" in the section "Execution of checks". Be aware that the change may effect existing rules, performance data (if present), and the availability history.
