As server plugin
Manual installation
Go to servers > plugins:
Click on add:
We put in name and the description that is preferred.
We put as command the execution with the path of the plugin:
/path_pandora_informix.py
Remember that the recommended path for the use of the server plugins is: /usr/share/pandora_server/util/plugin/
And in plugin parameters we will introduce these followed by the macro "_field<N>_", the connection parameters --hostname, --uid, --database and --password are mandatory. The default port is 9089 but it can be changed.
Remember that you can give a custom name to the agents with the --agent_name parameter
Once this is done, we will click on "create".
Once this is done, the only thing left to do is to call it, so we will go to some agent's view and create an add-in module:
We will give it a name and in the section "plugin" we will put the one we have just configured.
Once this is done, click on create.
If the module is shown with 1, it means that it is running correctly.
