Troubleshooting error running automation call restart
Error activating changes "Error creating configuration: 'name'"
LAST TESTED ON CHECKMK 2.2.0P1

Problem
During activation, you may face this issue.
Solution
There is no default solution for this. We need to debug it step-by-step.
Log in as the site user.
root@linux~# su - mysite
.
Create the core config from the command line.

- We must disable the parallelized config creation in the global settings for better debugging.
Setup → General → Global settings → Monitoring Core → Parallellize config creation → remove the tick and save the changes
. The activate changes will run again into an error, but now we can debug much better.

- This issue is caused by a custom check due to an empty parameter. You need to check the rule in Checkmk again or rewrite your check to have some default values.
. - Please don't forget to activate to parallelize config creation again
