Where do i go to learn about how the agents work, examples of agents and their API, I am interested in writing one in python. Will I have the ability to write something to grab any kind of data and return it to the server, where I can have triggers based on the data returned?

thanks!

Hi,

By agent do you mean “getting info about something”? I’m asking you that because I don’t see the need of writing a new agent, but it’s very common the need of getting some specific data or status about something you want to monitor. Is that what you need to develop?

BTW, it’s cool you use Python for that 🙂

Hey estaban,

thanks for quick reply, i was meaning to post back here because as i was reading the documentation i seen how i can just execute custom commands straight from the included agent. that’s all i really need to do 🙂 very cool.
