Configuration in Pandora

Ideally, to run any server plug-in, the plug-in should be located in the following path /usr/share/pandora_server/util/plugin/

Once this is done, we must change the owner and permissions of the plug-in so that they can be executed by the server. To do this we use the following commands:

chown pandora:root pandora_linode
chmod 755 pandora_linode

It should look like this.

Next we will proceed to register the plug-in. In this case we will do the registration manually.

The first step is to access the console. In the Servers section we access the Plugins tab.

In this tab will appear all the server plug-ins that are installed by default with Pandora FMS.

Click on Add.

The following window will be used to configure the plug-in before registering it.
The first section is general options, where we can set the name we want to give to the plug-in, the type of plug-in, standard or Nagios, the maximum execution time of the plug-in and a brief description.

In the next section we define the path where the plug-in is located, to which we add its execution mode, in this case, when executed with python we add python3, and a series of macros, which are equivalent to the parameters of which the plug-in is composed.

Finally, if we have added execution parameters, this section will be used to define these parameters by means of macros. We can also add default values to these macros, so that they will be used in case we do not provide a parameter.
In this case, since the only mandatory parameter is the token parameter, the other two will be configured with default values.

Once we have finished, click on Create.
