These plugins can be installed in the plugins directory of the Linux agent in /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/. Please only install the plugins that you really need. If you want a plugin to be run asynchronously and also in a larger interval then the normal check interval, then you can copy it to a subdirectory named after a number of *minutes*, e.g.: /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins/60/mk_zypper In that case the agent will: - Run this plugin in the background and wait not for it to finish. - Store the result of the plugin in a cache file below /etc/check_mk/cache. - Use that file for one hour before running the script again.
