When services were enabled or disabled from a host's service discovery page, the resulting changes to the "Disabled services" ruleset were not recorded in the audit log in some cases:

  • Disabling a service (creating or extending the host's rule) produced no audit-log entry at all.
  • Enabling one of several disabled services (trimming the rule but keeping it alive) produced no audit-log entry either.

Only the case of enabling the last remaining disabled service caused the rule to be deleted and the action being logged.

With this werk, all three ruleset mutations - creating a new "Disabled services" rule, editing an existing one, and deleting the rule - produce audit-log entries just like any other manual rule edit does.
