automatic UserParameter

[cristifalcas]

Is there any possibility to update all agents with some custom checks? Something like UserParameter but sent from the server to all agents?

For example I want on all monitored machines to have the io statistics monitored also. Currently we have this on each agent:
UserParameter=disk.iostat[*],iostat -dkx | grep "$1" | tr -s ' ' | cut -f $2 -d ' '

But it's very time consuming to manually update the command, or add a new command, or update the new agents. Can we do this semi-automatically?

Thank you

There are several methods to implement this.

You can use system.run[command,<mode>] items to store the commands on the server rather than as UserParameters on the agent.

Alternatively you can use a combination of scripts and commands to update the UserParameters via normal checks, this is discussed on this page:
