Piggyback entry not available

[neeloj (Neeloj A.)]

Hi all,

I use for first time Piggyback and my issues:
cmk-server -> HostA -> HostB

Check_MK version 1.5

1. I already create /omd/sites/mysite/tmp/check_mk/piggyback/HostB ,
   
   

thanks in advance…

Hi @neeloj,

you do not need to create any directories manually, this is done by checkmk.

You just need to make sure that the data section is enclosed by piggyback headers:

<<<<HostB>>>>
<<<sectionheader>>>
sectiondata
sectiondata
<<<<>>>>

The name of the spool file is irrelevant as just the content is appended to the agent output of HostA.

thanks for you answer @r.sander.

@r.sander

you do not need to create any directories manually, this is done by check mk .

I delete the folder.
The piggyback is empty.

ls /omd/sites/mysite/tmp/check_mk/piggyback

this is in my spool file on the HostA:

<<<< win-vm>>>>
<<< mem>>>
MemTotal: 8388148 kB
MemFree: 5779788 kB
SwapTotal: 1310720 kB

<<< uptime>>>

<<<< >>>>

Now when I call cmk -d HostA , the folder HostB is created automatically.
And Why I dont see the piggy option when I create host ? are those related to eachother ?

@neeloj

And Why I dont see the piggy option when I create host ?

This option is available from version 1.6 onwards.

@r.sander

This option is available from version 1.6 onwards.

ops Okay thank you so much @r.sander I use now 1.5, is there a workaround or so ? Because the structure is available…
