Previously, metrics without an explicit metric definition -- most commonly the
ones produced by local checks -- were shown with an auto-generated title. This
title was derived by title-casing the raw metric name: the first letter of
every word was capitalized and all remaining letters were lowercased. So a
metric named nm-openvpn showed up as Nm-Openvpn, and someMetric became
Somemetric.
This affected the service summary, the service details, the service metrics column, and graph titles and legends, while the raw name was kept only in the perfdata. As a result, the displayed name no longer matched the metric name actually delivered by the check.
This has been fixed. Metrics without an explicit definition are now displayed with their raw name exactly as delivered, without any capitalization changes.
