Custom script configuration file - bhm-kyndryl/Metraixbeat GitHub Wiki

Custom script configuration file must be placed in the same directory than Parameters.conf file

The goal is to be able to send any values to ELK. The OS script executed must be SH and returns two column per line

Bye default, the first column will be the name and the second will be the value.

Here is an example of configuration file

Config file name ( ".custom.conf" part of the name is mandatory) :
	who.custom.conf
	
OS script executed :  	
	"/etc/metraixbeat/who.sh"
	
Time to wait between two script executions
	60
	
Content of the file "/etc/metraixbeat/who.custom.conf" :
{
    "OSScript": "/etc/metraixbeat/who.sh",
    "Refresh": 60
}

Executed "/etc/metraixbeat/who.sh" script content:
	who | awk '{print $1 " " $2}'

This will return two metrics per line in ELK
	system.custom.[ScriptName].name	
		ex: system.custom.who.name
	system.custom.[ScriptName].value	
		ex: system.custom.who.value
