description:
 Reports how many instances of a given service type are online across the
 whole tenant, as a count and as a percentage. This mirrors the Service
 Availability tile in the portal dashboard.

 It complements the per server service checks rather than replacing them.
 Each of those sees a single instance on a single server, so none of them
 can express that DNS is healthy on one node and down on the other. This
 check can.

 The service goes to a configurable state, {CRIT} by default, when any
 instance of the type is not online. Two further conditions are reported:
 an instance whose desired state disagrees with its actual state, and
 instances of the same type running different versions.

 The version condition defaults to {OK}. Infoblox applies updates
 asynchronously, so instances of one type routinely differ for a short
 window during a rollout.

 The details list every instance of the type with its status, state,
 version and the server it runs on.

discovery:
 One service is created per service type present in the tenant, on the
 tenant host. A type deployed on a server that has no Checkmk host yet is
 still counted, which is the one thing the per server checks cannot do.

item:
 The service type as Infoblox names it in the portal, matching the items
 used by the per server service checks.
