Custom Linux plugins

Build custom Linux plugins

Plugins are a great way to measure customized attributes and keep track of the data that matters the most. You can set thresholds to individual attributes and choose to get alerted if the set values exceed. Please follow the below steps to configure plugins.
  1. Write a custom Shell script or Python script
  2. Add this script to the Linux agents' plugin directory - /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins
  3. Start monitoring your custom performance metrics from anywhere on the cloud
