How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

$CENTREONPLUGINS$/centreon_hp_storeonce4_restapi.pl \
--plugin=storage::hp::storeonce::4::restapi::plugin \
--mode=stores \
--hostname='10.0.0.1' \
--port='443' \
--proto='https' \
--api-username='my-username' \
--api-password='my-password' \
--verbose

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: All catalyst stores are ok | 'stores.detected.count'=3;;;0; 'Catalyst01#store.disk.space.usage.bytes'=1838969531121B;;;0; 'Catalyst01#store.user.space.usage.bytes'=62700600887099B;;;0; 'Catalyst01#store.deduplication.ratio.count'=34.00;;;0; 'Catalyst02#store.disk.space.usage.bytes'=50306416657426B;;;0; 'Catalyst02#store.user.space.usage.bytes'=1793362240355355B;;;0; 'Catalyst02#store.deduplication.ratio.count'=35.60;;;0; 'Catalyst03#store.disk.space.usage.bytes'=21192464324702B;;;0; 'Catalyst03#store.user.space.usage.bytes'=540818386772559B;;;0; 'Catalyst03#store.deduplication.ratio.count'=25.50;;;0;
