Solution
In order to activate changes successfully from master central to slaveremote, you need to delete both replication-Files on the slaveremote:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
OMD[slaveremote]:~/var/check_mk/wato$ rm replication_* |
...
| Note |
|---|
To avoid this issue, disable WATO on the slave remote and push the configuration only from mastercentral. |
