Step-by-step guide

1. Enable SSH on the monitoring system (https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/agent_linux.html#_creating_ssh_key_pairs)
   .
2. Create the script
   .
   

   • On a Windows machine (Check that manual for SSH → Windows monitoring over SSH)

     Code Block
     language powershell theme RDark
     ECHO OFF "C:\Program Files (x86)\checkmk\service\check_mk_agent.exe" test > HostFile scp HostFile USER@CMKSERVER:/var/cmk/HOST

     Create a batch job to run the script automatically (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-automated-task-using-task-scheduler-windows-10#create_advanced_taskscheduler_windows10)
     
     

   • On a Linux machine

     Code Block
     language bash theme RDark
     #!/bin/bash check_mk_agent | ssh USER@CMKSERVER "cat > /var/cmk/HOST"

     Create a cronjob to run the script automatically

     .

3. On the Checkmk Server, we need to create a rule by going to Setup → Agents → Other intergrations → Individual program call... → Add rule

   Command line to execute: cat /var/cmk/$HOSTNAME$
