Problem: zipped Python module
During the registration of the Check_MK Updater on Windows, you may face this issue:
Code Block |
---|
language | powershell |
---|
theme | RDark |
---|
|
C:\Program Files (x86)\checkmk\service>check_mk_agent.exe updater -vv
You must install Python Module to use the updater with parameters '-vv'.
To install Python Module you should use Bakery. |
...
Note |
---|
Please make sure that you open the cmd/powershell PowerShell as an administrator! |
The problem is , that the python Python module either was not successfully unzipped during the updater process:

A possible workaround
If you have only a python_x.cap file
For some reasons it is possiblereason, that you may have only one pythonone python_x.cap file in your folder. In that case, you have these two options:
Reinstall

the Python (if the folder is

zipped)

mkdir C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\modules\python-3 & expand C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\install\modules\python-3.cab -F:* C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\modules\python-3 && cd C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\modules\python-3 && call postinstall.cmd |

Increase the timeout of the updater
Via bakery
Go to Setup → Agents → Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX → AIX → Agent rules → Set → Set timeouts for plugins and local checks

Script Pattern: cmk_update_agent.checkmk.py
After saving the rule, you need to must bake and sign the new agent!
Here we described in a detailed way detail how to configure caching and timeout for Windows plugins: Asynchronous execution of Windows plugins.
