Folder locations for pure inventory plugin

Hi there,

I created an inventory plugin which lists the vlans which are available on a specific switch port. It took some time but now it works.
When it came to distributing the pkg I had troubles.
The documentation says to create the file under local/lib/check_mk/base/plugins/agent_based. After confirming the plugin worked I tried to do mkp create package and afterwards mkp find.
The package file lists a lot of files under “agent based” but nothing under inventory (which is shown in the documentation).
Should the files remain under the folder agent_based or should I move the files to inventory (given that the plugin is not working any more because of missing imports)? Is there even a reason for the inventory folder (except legacy)?

Kind regards

Sebastian

With 2.0 there is no own directory anymore for inventory or check plugin.
All plugins written for 2.0 API are inside “local/lib/check_mk/base/plugins/agent_based”.

The old inventory folder is needed for legacy API inventory plugins.
