Calculated item with "count"

[Lazareus]

Hi all,


I need some help.

I try to create an item that returns the number of connections of a specific application using this command : #netstat -paunt | grep sshd | wc -l
(Where "sshd" is the name of my application)

I know that i have to use the item type "Calculated" but i don't know what key i have to write and what is the syntax of the "count" formula.


Can someone help me please?

I suspect you want an agent user parameter check, not a calculation. The expression goes in the agent setup with a key name, and the key goes into the item definition or template as an "agent" check.
