Push agent in Raw edition?

General

Is there a way, we can configure or get push agent in Raw edition ?

Hallo,
using the RAW edition normally involes a central config management like ansible. Otherwise it is only a question of time that problems with the configmanagent appear.
The bakery is an enterprise feature.

No, the “official” push agent is currently a Cloud Edition only feature.

You can implement something like the official push agent yourself.

We have build a system where a cronjob on the host starts the agent and uploads its output to a webdav share. The monitoring server then reads the file from that share.

That’s basically what I’ve been doing with hosts behind dial-up connections for years. On the host a cronjob that does:

#!/bin/bash
check_mk_agent | ssh me@myserver 'cat > /home/me/agent_output/nas.tmp ; mv /home/me/agent_output/nas.tmp /home/me/agent_output/nas'

On the Checkmk a datasource program that runs:

cat /home/me/agent_output/$HOSTNAME$

Using the same SSH user might be OK for small installations, on larger ones prevent one from overwriting stuff of others.
