Info
Sometimes it is necessary to run plugins or local checks asynchronously. Here is guidance on how to achieve this!

...

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

Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → Agent rules → Set timeouts for plugins and local checks → New rule: Set timeouts for plugins and local checks

Optional settings

...

Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → Agent rules → Set retry count for plugins and local checks → New rule: Set retry count for plugins and local checks
