Provide method to remove changes from the pending queue, or auto revert a specific change.
Changes made to checkmk are not fully activated immediately and go into a pending queue - there is no way to remove items from the pending queue at present. It would be good to have a mechanism to be able to remove specific changes from the queue before they are activated.
An alternative would be a mechanism where a change can be reviewed and a subsequent change created to revert all the actions performed by the selected change (this would need to be able to be done after the inital change was activated if a change causes issues for example and we need to roll back just that change).

Mohamed Saleh AdminHi ISCB,
Happy new year!
Thanks for your posting your idea on our Ideas Portal.
We understand you want to be able to remove a change from the activation queue.
But we also need to understand the problem you are facing which this idea would help to solve. Therefore, if you could provide more context into what kind of challenges you are facing or the scenarios where you would need to remove a change from the queue, it would help us with the analysis when considering this idea. Any insight into your workflow would be very helpful.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Your Checkmk Team -

ISCBWe plan to utilise the API to automate the configuration of CheckMK, as we plan to have multiple CheckMK services supporting different environments, we want to be able to make changes in lower environments before we make the same change in production.
If someone (other than the automation user) makes a change to the configuration which requires activation then the automation process currently needs to activate that change in addition to the automated changes to move forward. Because we do not want to have manual changes to the configuration we need to be able to remove changes made by users other than automation from the activation queue.
