| Sometimes it is necessary to run plugins or local checks asynchronously. Here is guidance on how to achieve this! |
...
Step-by-step guide
Required settings
Set cache age for plugins and local checks
A cache age limit on plugins and local checks. If set, the output of plugins is cached and reused until this much time has passed.
Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → Agent rules → Set cache age for plugins and local checks → Add rule
Set execution mode for plugins and local checks
Some scripts are slow and can therefore stall the execution of the agent. To remedy this, such scripts may be run asynchronously. With this rule, asynchronous execution can be set on a per-script basis.
Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → Agent rules → Set execution mode for plugins and local checks → Edit rule: Set execution mode for plugins and local checks
Set timeouts for plugins and local checks
A timeout on plugins and local checks keeps those checks from stalling the whole agent. If no timeout is configured here, the default is 60 seconds.
