Information that performance occupies of the agent in OS

On Linux this can be done with one of the following:

  • Call the checkmk agent manually (as root) with the option -p (for profiling).

  • Create the file /etc/check_mk/profiling.cfg with the following content:

LOG_SECTION_TIME=true

The agent will then create profiling data below /var/log/check_mk_agent/profiling/$date.

Make sure you undo the changes after your analysis because the profiling data will grow rapidly.
