Here I am again…
Just updated from p16 to p20 and now have the same problem as a few months before. I followed these update steps:
Updates und Upgrades (checkmk.com)
I baked new agent with same settings/patterns. Now my Service check command check_mk-logwatch returns “The logfile does not exist on site.”
As it was last time solved with trial and error I’ve no idea what to do next. My expectation would ne that this check survives a simple minor update.
