Hi,
Trying to create POC for building custom monitoring extension from (custom written) scripts.
Created <machine_agent_home>/monitors/<custom_extension_directory>, in my case that is <machine_agent_home>/monitors/CustomMonitor”.
In this directory CustomMonitor created two files. First file is shell script that prints stdout in the format of "name=Custom Metrics|Hardware Resources|$ZONE|$server_name conntrack utilization percent,value="$Ctrack_utilization. This works just fine, tested it by running from the server directly, from command prompt.
created file “monitor.xml” with the following content …
<monitor>
<name>Hardware Resources</name>
<type>managed</type>
<description>Monitor open file count </description>
<monitor-configuration>
</monitor-configuration>
<monitor-run-task>
<execution-style>continuous</execution-style>
<name>Run</name>
<type>executable</type>
<task-arguments>
</task-arguments>
<executable-task>
<type>file</type>
<file><shell_script_file_name></file>
</executable-task>
</monitor-run-task>
</monitor>
restarted machine agent
My data is not visible if i go to Servers > Metric Browser.
Tried modifying monitor.xml to use periodic (since i read somewhere that for "continuous" script needs to run in infinite loop like this ...
<execution-style>periodic</execution-style> <execution-frequency-in-seconds>60</execution-frequency-in-seconds> <execution-timeout-in-secs>30</execution-timeout-in-secs>
but my data is still not visible in Metric Browser.
Tried with different format of stdout like this ...
name=Hardware Resources|$ZONE|$server_name conntrack utilization percent,value="$Ctrack_utilization
but that did not help neither.
Just to mentioned that in Metric Browser I see relevant server with default metrics, this is what i see under this server (did not include it in the image in order not to reveille the actual server name)
I was hoping to have another expandable folder with the caption of the value of variable $ZONE.
Has anyone successfully managed to get this running?
