Provide all information one needs if coding a manual check with {checks +=} in {main.mk}. Give an example. If the check uses {None} as sole item, then leave out this section. examples: # Give examples for configuration in {main.mk} here. If the check has # configuration variable, then give example for them here. # set default levels to 40 and 60 percent: foo_default_values = (40, 60) # another configuration variable here: inventory_foo_filter = [ "superfoo", "superfoo2" ] perfdata: Describe precisely the number and meaning of performance variables the check sends. If it outputs no performance data, then leave out this section. inventory: Describe how the inventory for the check works. Which items will it find? Describe the influence of check specific configuration parameters to the inventory. [parameters] foofirst(int): describe the first parameter here (if parameters are grouped as tuple) fooother(string): describe another parameter here. [configuration] foo_default_levels(int, int): Describe global configuration variable of foo here. Important: also tell the user how they are preset.
