distribution: check_mk_alpine_agent
description:
 Reports Alpine Linux ({apk}) packages that have an update available,
 based on the {apk_update} agent plugin.

 The plugin is shipped disabled by default and is enabled per host via the
 "Alpine agent plugins" rule in Setup > Agents, applied by
 {checkmk-agent-poller} on the host itself (not via the Checkmk Agent
 Bakery - see this project's DESIGN.md for why).

 The check is {WARN} if one or more packages have a pending update,
 {OK} otherwise.

item:
 None, this check produces one service per host ("APK Updates").

discovery:
 One service is created per host if the {apk_update} agent section is
 present.
