To configure the plugin in PandoraFMS, follow these steps:

**1. Upload the plugin to PandoraFMS, for example in the following path:**

```
/usr/share/pandora_server/util/plugin
```

**2. Go to the plugins section and create a new one:**

**4. Add the plugin path to the command and the parameters necessary for its execution.**

<p class="callout info">A macro must be configured for each parameter, with the following syntax: \_fieldx\_, where x is the positional number of the parameter.</p>

**6. Once configured, a module must be created in an agent that executes the plugin. In the agent's module menu, we create a new plugin-type module:**

**7. In the module configuration menu, give it a name, select the previously configured plugin, and click “create.”**

**8. The plugin will eventually run according to the configuration settings, generating alerts as it processes the data.**
