Rittal CMC base plugin addon - CheckMK 2.1

Checkmk Exchange

I would like to monitor Rittal PSM Plug Current and added them in the base plugin, which works fine and I can monitor Current per plug. I’m wondering how to make this patch safe.

Any best practice or documentation, I’m not aware of yet?

Edited - /opt/omd/versions/2.1.0p11.cee/lib/python3/cmk/base/plugins/agent_based/cmciii.py
and added:

     67     if variable[0].startswith("PSM_CAN") and variable[1].endswith("Current"):
     68         return "can_current"

But, of course, with a p12 release we lost this and need to add it again.

What is the recommended place to add it permanently ?

Hi dabrain,

you can copy the file to the same location below your local structure.

/opt/omd/sites/<yoursitename/local/lib/python3/cmk/base/plugins/agent_based/cmciii.py

Checkmk will keep this during updates and the copied file will overlay the one that is shipped with checkmk.
