Improve transparency of “Use new service names” setting

2 votes

The global setting “Use new service names” currently lacks transparency and makes it difficult to understand its impact.
For each listed check plugin, it is not visible:

- what the old service name was
- what the new service name will be
- whether there is a related Werk or documented change

This makes it hard to assess the impact before enabling the option, especially in environments with:

- existing rules based on service descriptions
- integrations with external systems
- reliance on historical data

Suggested improvement:

- Show old → new service name mapping per plugin
- Provide a reference to the related Werk / documentation
- Optionally include a short preview/example

This would greatly improve usability and reduce the risk of unintended side effects.
