I am trying to create a custom special agent, at the end I am going to access an IMAP Mail Folder, read e-mails and parse them, after filtering I would like to have a service, to have a status if I got an E-Mail with “success” or “failed” subject.
So I think the starting point is a special agent, like described in this documentation:
However, the describes special agent (ometemp) is not working as expected. I have the rule in SetupAgents SetupAgents → Other integrations → Open-Meteo temperature, but the Service never shows up in my localhost Agent, after setting up the rule.
Am I missing something? I can’t see anything wrong, altough I’ve checked with cmk -d localhost.
It seems to be a GUI problem, I was able to see it in the service discovery section, altough it was activated, it was not visible in the Services section. After deactivation of other services, it was visible.
So I don’t exactly know the problem, but it is working now :-).
However I would like to ask, if I am using it wrong.
I would like to create several rules on one Host, to check several different E-Mails in the future, I think with a special service agent, this is not simple possible, I need an active check, right?
Is there any documentation on how to do so? I am only able to find the local checks, but not how to create an active check (like the ICMP Check for example) together with WATO rules, to create several services.
Maybe someone is able to point me into the correct direction on how to do that right.
