If you want to execute the special agent from the command line, please run the following command.

Step-by-step guide

1. If you use special agents installed from a Feature Pack, you can find the special agents in:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/

   .

2. The special agents which are already shipped with Checkmk can be found here:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/share/check_mk/agents/special/

   .

3. How to execute the special agent manually?

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk -D bi |head -n15 bi Addresses: No IP Tags: [address_family:no-ip], [agent:cmk-agent], [checkmk-agent:checkmk-agent], [criticality:prod], [networking:lan], [piggyback:auto-piggyback], [site:bi], [snmp_ds:no-snmp], [tcp:tcp] Labels: [cmk/site:bimysite] Host groups: check_mk Contact groups: all Agent mode: Normal Checkmk agent, or special agent if configured Type of agent: Program: /omd/sites/bimysite/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_bi Program stdin: [{'site': 'local', 'credentials': 'automation', 'filter': {'groups': ['Hosts']}, 'assignments': {'querying_host': 'querying_host'}}] Process piggyback data from /omd/sites/bi/tmp/check_mk/piggyback/bi Services: checktype item params description groups OMD[bi]:~$

   With this command, you will get the special agent call. Now you can continue the debugging.
   .

4. Execute the command

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   echo "[{'site': 'local', 'credentials': 'automation', 'filter': {'groups': ['Hosts']}, 'assignments': {'querying_host': 'querying_host'}}]" | /omd/sites/bimysite/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_bi
