description:
 One service per selected object type reporting how many objects of that type
 exist in NetBox, as a metric with optional upper and lower levels (rule "NetBox
 object counts"). Upper levels catch a runaway import, lower levels catch an
 unexpected mass deletion. No levels are set by default, so the service is a
 pure metric until you configure them.

 Each object type costs exactly one API request (the count is read from the
 paginated response, not by downloading the objects).

 This is deliberately an aggregate. For monitoring the devices documented in
 NetBox as actual Checkmk hosts, use Checkmk's dynamic host management with a
 NetBox connector - not this plugin.

item:
 The object type label, e.g. {Devices} or {IP addresses}.

discovery:
 One service per object type selected in the special agent rule. Nothing is
 selected by default.
