So instead of using the metric "current" to - let's say - represent the amount of requests currently waiting in some queue, you want to monitor, you should instead create metric info like "myprefix_current_requests".

If - for some reason - you cannot prefix your metric_infos and do not intend to reuse one of these metrics, you must avoid all of the ~1000 strings from the list below for naming your metric.
Alternatively , you can always extract all metric_info currently used by your version of Checkmk by running the following command as a site user:
