Check_mk_agent loop execution

Hi @whity

I’m not sure what you mean with your statement above that you changed “the routes of export to my own routes”, in the CMK agent, but if you also say that your agent is no longer working as expected afterwards, it was probably a “bad idea”… What exactly were you/are you trying to achieve by this?

In any case, I just checked on one of my test instances, where I also monitor Oracle. I didn’t change the setting I mentioned earlier after all, so you can ignore this. I didn’t have to do much to get the plugin to work (other than bother my DBAs to create an account on the DB for me…). The steps I used were the following ones:

  • Installed the CheckMK agent
  • Didn’t modify it in any way
  • Copied the mk_oracle plugin to the proper location, as @r.sander pointed out as well.
  • Configured the plugin with an appropriate /etc/check_mk/mk_oracle.cfg as described, here: Monitoring Oracle databases efficiently

That was it. Perhaps you forgot one or more of the steps above.

HTH,
Thomas
