Special Agents

Topic Articles

Detailed documentation about special agents can be found here.

Information

If you use special agents installed from a Feature Pack, they are stored in:

OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/

.

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

OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/share/check_mk/agents/special/

.

To find out the exact command to execute the special agent manually, use the below command:

OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk -D <HOSTNAME> | grep -A3 "^Type of agent:" |grep "Program:" |cut -f2 -d':'

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