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:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cambium_epmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cambium::epmp::snmp::plugin \
--mode=cpu \
--hostname=10.0.0.1 \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
--warning-cpu='' \
--critical-cpu='' \
--use-new-perfdata

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: CPU usage: 9%  | 'system.cpu.utilization.percentage'=9%;;;0;100 

All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cambium_epmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cambium::epmp::snmp::plugin \
--mode=cpu \
--help

All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cambium_epmp.pl \
--plugin=network::cambium::epmp::snmp::plugin \
--list-mode
