  in the meantime HW/SW Inventory and https://github.com/HeinleinSupport/check_mk_extensions/tree/cmk2.0/data2label would be a workaround I guess

  Why only Linux?
  Make it for all OS if you do it... Think big!

  ...and add more Labels for everything that can be usable for basic rules
  
  Please create or use a naming scheme!!!!
  I suggest to have a look at the Elastic Common Scheme:
  https://www.elastic.co/de/blog/introducing-the-elastic-common-schema
  https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/index.html
  https://github.com/elastic/ecs
  
  Then use these labels to create dashboards, views, default rules, ...
  And provide all of this as MKPs.

  This can be done by distribution (aka redhat, suse, debian, ubuntu, ...) or should this go even further towards distribution & version (aka debian9, debian10, ...).
  Linux has distributions, while Windows or AIX does not have this. Windows has multiple edition of the server

  @Thomas so far half of the installations I've seen doing it MINIMUM on Distribution AND Version
  AIX also has different versions ;-)
  
  @Christian
  oldie but goldie
  Would be nice, but I dont think so.
  There could be so much stuff directly automated in combination with the inventory to make filtering and daily business so much more efficient...

  This extension sets labels based on the information from /etc/os-release: https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/lsbrelease

  All Informations are already available if you are using the Inventory
  Inventory Tree -> Operating System (software.os)
  So shouldn't be such a biggy

  Thanks for sharing. But adding more and more MKPs where we as Customers need to check on every upgrade if they are still working and for some of us even not possible as third party - not really an option. Much likely works fpr the KMU

  This does the trick pretty well: https://exchange.checkmk.com/p/set-os-label
