Platforms

All

Table 4. Arguments
Argument	Type	Description
name	String	Name of the external subagent to check

Table 10. Available Metrics
Metric	Description
`Agent.ThreadPool.ActiveRequests(pool)`	Number of currently active requests
`Agent.ThreadPool.AverageWaitTime(pool)`	Average time tasks spend in queue (ms)
`Agent.ThreadPool.CurrSize(pool)`	Current number of threads in the pool

`Agent.ThreadPool.LoadAverage(pool)`	1-minute load average
`Agent.ThreadPool.LoadAverage5(pool)`	5-minute load average
`Agent.ThreadPool.LoadAverage15(pool)`	15-minute load average
`Agent.ThreadPool.MaxSize(pool)`	Maximum configured thread count
`Agent.ThreadPool.MinSize(pool)`	Minimum configured thread count

ExternalCheck.Status(name)

Since 6.2.4

Exit code of a configured external check (Nagios-compatible plugin). The agent returns the exit code unchanged.

Data Type

Integer

Platforms

All

Table 11. Arguments
Argument	Type	Description
name	String	Configured external check name (case-insensitive)

Table 12. Conventional Status Codes
Value	Description
0	OK
1	WARNING
2	CRITICAL
3	UNKNOWN

Returns no-such-instance error for an unknown check name, and a collection error if the check process cannot be started or times out. A missing plugin in shell form is not such an error: the shell starts and its exit code (for example 127) is returned. See External Checks for configuration, caching, and DCI examples.

ExternalCheck.StatusText(name)

Since 6.2.4

Status text from the first line of a configured external check’s output, before the | character. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed; no output produces an empty string.

Data Type

String

Platforms

All

Table 13. Arguments
Argument	Type	Description
name	String	Configured external check name (case-insensitive)

Returns no-such-instance error for an unknown check name, and a collection error if the check process cannot be started or times out. A missing plugin in shell form is not such an error: the shell’s error message is returned. See External Checks for configuration and caching.

ExternalCheck.Value(name, label)

Since 6.2.4

Numeric value of a performance data entry returned by a configured external check. The unit suffix is removed without converting the value: for example, 403MB returns 403. Entries without a numeric value, including U (unknown), are skipped by the parser.

Data Type

Float

Platforms

All

Table 14. Arguments
Argument	Type	Description
name	String	Configured external check name (case-insensitive)
label	String	Performance data label (case-insensitive), without the surrounding single quotes used in plugin output

Returns no-such-instance error for an unknown check name or label, unsupported error for an empty label, and a collection error if the check process cannot be started or times out. A missing plugin in shell form is not such an error: the run produces no performance data, so every label returns no-such-instance. To retrieve all labels and their units, thresholds, and limits, use ExternalCheck.PerfData. See External Checks for configuration, output parsing, and caching.
