Enhancements impacting current configurations
Teltonika SNMP: The Net-Teltonika-System-SNMP-custom service has been renamed Net-Teltonika-Modem-SNMP-custom. The aliases have also been modified.
Major change impacting all host discovery providers: the default host templates used in host discovery were read-only.
From now on, read-write “-custom” templates are used.
For example, generic-active-host-custom will be used rather than generic-active-host.
This change enables to customize these templates, so they can be better adapted to each client context.
