Modifying the ITRS Infrastructure Agent Copied
The ITRS Infrastructure Agent is the recommended monitoring agent to use. It comes with a set of default plugins to be able to monitor many aspects of your devices, and also supports adding custom plugins.
See Infrastructure Agent Configuration for details, and then follow the instructions below in the Opsview Monitor UI (assuming a new agent command check_example
was added).
