hosts/services after reload) #8043

config sync “check-change-then-reload” functionality could cause endless
reload loops with agents. The most visible parts are failing command
endpoint checks with “not connected” UNKNOWN state. Only applies to HA
enabled zones with 2 masters and/or 2 satellites.
* Bugfixes
– Cluster Config Sync
– Config sync checksum change detection may not work within high
load HA clusters #7565
– Update to 2.11.1 This release fixes a hidden long lasting bug unveiled
with 2.11 and distributed setups. If you are affected by
agents/satellites not accepting configuration anymore, or not reloading,
please upgrade.
* Bugfixes
– Cluster Config Sync
– Never accept authoritative config markers from other instances
#7552
– This affects setups where agent/satellites are newer than the
config master, e.g. satellite/agent=2.11.0, master=2.10.
– Configuration
– Error message for command_endpoint should hint that zone is not
set #7514
– Global variable ‘ActiveStageOverride’ has been set implicitly via
‘ActiveStageOverride … #7521
* Documentation

agents #7526
– Explain repository requirements for 2.11:
https://icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/16-upgrading-icinga-2/#added-boo
st-166
– command_endpoint objects require a zone:
