way

1. Copy the notification plugin to the local directory

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cp ~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/servicenow.py ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/

   
   

   .

2. make the script executable

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~/local/share/check_mk/notifications$ chmod +x ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow.py

   .

3. Inside the script, you need to change
   
   The 3rd line to the name of your script. This name will be displayed in the Notification rules

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   3 # Notification script name 4 # Bulk: no

   
   

   .

4. At the end of the notification script, we need to add:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   print("outside: about to check for __main__ == %s" % __name__) if __name__ == "__main__": print("outside: about to call main()") sys.exit(main())

   
   

The common way for Python developers

This way is more efficient and recommended for Python developers

1. Create a folder inside the local Python structure.

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cd ~/local/lib/python3/cmk OMD[mysite]:~/local/lib/python3/cmk$ mkdir notifications_custom

   .

2. Copy the notification script from the Python structure to the local Python structure.

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cp ~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/servicenow.py ~/local/lib/python3/cmk/notifications_custom/

   .

3. Copy the notification script from the notification path to the local notification path.

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cp ~/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/

   .

4. Now let's change some values.

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ vi ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow

   .

5. Change 

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   # Servicenow (Enterprise only) to # Servicenow Custom (Enterprise only) and the import directory to the local structure from cmk.cee.notification_plugins import servicenow to from cmk

...

1. .notifications_custom import servicenow
