| 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.
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
Set retry count for plugins and local checks
If set, the plugin may be called repeatedly - up to this many times or until it finishes successfully.
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
