Opsview 6.8.x End of Support
With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.

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).
UI configuration Copied

Name: Custom Check
Plugin: `check_nrpe`
Parameters: `-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_example -a '<plugin arguments>'`
- Add this Service Check to the Host you wish to monitor, and click Apply Changes to bring the configuration into use.
