Is there a plugin or even a built-in mechanism to create host inventory entries from local checks or local plugins? Similar to how you can create host tags from a local plugin script by outputting <<<tags>>> & the labels as a JSON object. Given how simple the structure of inventory entries is this should map nicely to simple JSON structures.
For inventory data you need an inventory plugin on the CMK server side.
I don’t think that it is possible without such a plugin to do anything at the moment.

My findings were hinting that there isn’t anything built-in, yes. However, I can easily imagine there being a plugin (as in: MKP here on the Exchange or elsewhere) that implements such a generic interface between JSON-formatted inventory data created on the monitored agent & using the usual server-side mechanisms for getting it in. I was just hoping I wouldn’t have to write one myself.
