Problem

User is unable to activate changes on a Checkmk site due to an error of " “init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'logged_out'.“

Solution

This error is caused by a "logged_out": False," flag enabled within the session_info.mk file. That file will need to be deleted.


  1. Delete the session_info.mk file located in ~/var/check_mk/web/automation/ directory

    OMD[mysite]:~$ cd ~/var/check_mk/web/automation/

OMD[mysite]:~/var/check_mk/web/automation$ ls -l
