How to address a customized rule group in a check plugin (CheckMK 2.0)

[VolkerL]

Hello,

we have a customized rule group created in an older checkmk version.

How can I address this group in my WATO plugin:

Does there exist a documentation for things like “valuespecs” or “RulespecGroupCheckParameters”?

Thank you,

Volker

Very much related to this unanswered question:
A new rule group may possibly be created with the new check API so solve this. However, the documentation on creating a rule group with the new API is something between very bad and non-existing. The only hint is the following sentence:

The group determines in which category in the setup the rule set should appear. Most of these groups are defined in the file lib/check_mk/gui/plugins/wato/utils/init.py. There you will also find examples of how to create your own new group.

There is no init.py file, but an __init.py file. There is no hint where to put a local extension and what excactly to put in, and
local/lib/check_mk/gui/plugins/wato/utils/
doesnt seem to be the right directory ? Maybe someone has done this and has an example ?

Thank you Götz for your answer. I already knew this passage. As you mentioned, it isn’t helpful anyway. In the __init.py file our customized group is not listed. But it should be listed anywhere…
It would be nice, if someone of the Check_MK team could bring light into the dark.

Greetings, Volker
