Custom plugin not showing up as service in CheckMK

[jlagendijk (Jesse)]

CMK Version 2.1.0 RAW
Windows Server 2019

Custom plugin to check the usage of Disk Quota’s is not reporting in CheckMK.
Output of cmk --debug -vvn [hostname]:
<<>> / Transition NOOPParser → HostSectionParser
It is a ps1 script created based on the following forum post: Local check for Quota usage on Windows servers (Checkmk Agent 1.5.x) - #2 by andreas-doehler

The script:

Write-Host "<<<DiskQuota>>>"
$Quotas = @(Get-FsrmQuota | Select-Object Path, Size, Usage)

foreach ($Quota in $Quotas) {
    $Size = ($Quota.Size / 1gb)
    $Usage = [math]::Round($Quota.Usage / 1gb, 1)
    $Path = ($Quota.Path)
    $Percent = ($Usage / $Size * 100)
    Write-Host("P Disk_Quota_" + $Path + " Usage=" + "{0:N0}" -f $Percent + ";85;95|Size=" + "{0:N0}" -f $Size + " Used: $Percent%, $Usage GB")
}

It is placed in %programdata%\checkmk\agent\plugins\DiskQuota.ps1
I’ve checked the yml files and this location is included.
I’ve read something in a different forum post that i need to create a Check in CheckMK but I’m not sure how to do this. I did find the following document: Local checks
But I couldn’t really find what I’m doing wrong.
I executed the following command: cmk -IIv --detect-plugins=local mycmkserver
Success - Found no services.

On the windows server i executed the following command:
C:\program Files (x86)\checkmk\service\check_mk_agent.exe test
Which did show me the expected output of the ps1 script.

The script outputs its own agent data section <<<DiskQuota>>>. Why?

If it’s a Local Check it must not output an agent data section header. And it must be placed in the local directory of the checkmk agent installation, not the plugins directory.

Hi, i had seen the <<>> part in a different script so i figured i would try this as well. I had used the script with and without this part without seeing a difference. I had indeed placed the script in the wrong folder, somehow I’ve overlooked this completely. Thank you.
