I have copies this in the following directory of a slave : ~/local/lib/nagios/plugins

Hi @nvnbs

OK, great. Now you need to setup a rule which uses the plugin. Go to “Setup” → “Rule search” and search
for “classic”. There you can create a corresponding rule.

Hi,
you should read these articles in the manual:
https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/active_checks.html#mrpe
https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/agent_windows.html#_executing_plug_ins_via_mrpe
https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/agent_linux.html#_executing_plug_ins_over_mrpe

I am getting this error when i tried executing the script directly on the master

./azurestack_plugin.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./azurestack_plugin.py”, line 33, in
import adal
ImportError: No module named adal

Hi @nvnbs

From the README.md inside of the tarball of the check you want to use, and I quote:

“Install the required python dependencies:
sudo pip install adal pyyaml six
…”

HTH,

The only modification you need to do is, remove the sudo from the command and it must be executed as site user. If you use CMK 2 then you need to use pip3. And you have to control that the right python interpreter is called from the script
