Creating of additional sections in WATO configuration possible?

[MasopustC (Christian Masopust)]

We plan to create some additional plugins and active checks and would like to have them grouped by one or more additional sections, e.g in “Other services” (Setup > Services > Other Services), or even better directly at “Setup > Services”.

Is that somehow possible? How?

Thanks a lot and a happy new year to you!

Hi @MasopustC,

i guess you mean the rulesets. Take a look at the programming guidelines and the documentation, there are examples how you can add them to existing sections or creating new ones:

Hi @tosch, that I’m already aware of

Maybe I was not very clear in my question… what I’m currently doing is creating some active checks
and I’ve added them to “Other services”:

But what I would like to have is my own developed services in their “own section” (e.g. named “MyCompany”)

So I would need to add a new class (somewhere) which can then be used in my

rulespec_registry.register(
HostRulespec(
group=RulespecGroupIntegrateMyCompany,
…

It should be possible to declare your own section like this one.

@rulespec_group_registry.register
class RulespecGroupIntegrateMyCompany(RulespecGroup):
    @property
    def name(self):
        return "company_checks"

    @property
    def title(self):
        return _("Company services")

    @property
    def help(self):
        return _("This services are provided by so called company checks. ")

For sub groups the definition looks a little bit different but it should also be possible.

Hi Andreas,

I’ve (finally) found some time to try this but failed.

First issue is that I have no idea to which file I have to add this new class… for a test I’ve added it to my plugin configuration script in~/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/wato/. But this doesn’t help, the result was that the check configuration disappeared

So, what I now assume is that this list:

is somewhere statically defined and (currently) cannot be extended.

Anyone from the CheckMk team here who can confirm this?
