If you want to execute the special agent from the command line, please run the following command.

Step-by-step guide

1. If you use special agents installed from a Feature Pack, you can find the special agents in:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/local/share/check_mk/agents/special/

   
   

2. The special agents which are already shipped with Checkmk can be found here:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ ~/share/check_mk/agents/special/

   
   

3. How to execute the special agent manually?

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk -D bi |head -n15 bi Addresses: No IP Tags: [address_family:no-ip], [agent:cmk-agent], [checkmk-agent:checkmk-agent], [criticality:prod], [networking:lan], [piggyback:auto-piggyback], [site:bi], [snmp_ds:no-snmp], [tcp:tcp] Labels: [cmk/site:mysite] Host groups: check_mk Contact groups: all Agent mode: Normal Checkmk agent, or special agent if configured Type of agent: Program: /omd/sites/mysite/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_bi Program stdin: [{'site': 'local', 'credentials': 'automation', 'filter': {'groups': ['Hosts']}, 'assignments': {'querying_host': 'querying_host'}}] Process piggyback data from /omd/sites/bi/tmp/check_mk/piggyback/bi Services: checktype item params description groups

   With this command, you will get the special agent call. Now you can continue the debugging.
   
   

4. Execute the command

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   echo "[{'site': 'local', 'credentials': 'automation', 'filter': {'groups': ['Hosts']}, 'assignments': {'querying_host': 'querying_host'}}]" | /omd/sites/mysite/share/check_mk/agents/special/agent_bi
