Hi!
What I found not working.

  • vmware vsphere agent to connect to vcenter
  • process discovery based on regex for multiple processes.

Overall the behaviour is stable.

Would you be so kind to report the two bugs individually via:
https://support.checkmk.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/9

Then we can fix them. Because for me process discovery is not broken.
