Can not find the check_mk.user.yml - window_updates.vbs

I am relativly new to check_mk
I can not find the check_mk.user.yml file or an example to configure the plugin (activate caching for the windows_updates.vbs plugin)

Also on my windows server is no C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\ folder by default. Do I have to create this every time manually??

I only have a C:\Program Files (x86)\check_mk\plugins folder. Copyed the plugin there but it is not running or doing anything.

Thanks!

This is the installation path of the older checkmk agent (up to version 1.5). The agent uses the YAML config file starting with version 1.6.

Okay, do you know how I configure the plugin in the old version. Thanks!

The old version uses one INI file: check_mk.ini:

[plugins]
# example: the windows_updates.vbs
# plugin is executed asynchronous
# and is only updated every 3600 seconds
# it may fail (timeout / error) up to 3 times before the last known data is discarded
# execution windows_updates.vbs = async
# timeout windows_updates.vbs = 120
# cache_age windows_updates.vbs = 3600
# retry_count windows_updates.vbs = 3

# define timeouts for plugin scripts matching
# specific patterns - first match wins
# timeout ps_perf.ps1 = 20
# timeout *.ps1 = 10
# timeout * = 30

# When using the Check_MK Inventory plugin, it is a good idea to make the
# plugin being executed asynchronous to prevent it from hooking up the
# whole agent processing. Additionally it should have a execution timeout.
# execution mk_inventory.ps1 = async
# timeout mk_inventory.ps1 = 240
