This agent does not perform any work by itself, but can serve as a host for
custom providers. Use it as a testbed when creating your own providers.
The agent supports both local and remote modes.
This agent is used as a base when you install a new custom agent. Depending on
the template selected, the following configurations are available:
- For the SQL template:
- Username: used when logging in to the database system
- Password: used when logging in to the database system
- Database: name of the database to connect to
- Port: if needed, the port number of the database server.
- For the Java template and for the Process template a set of generic parameters
are provided. The meaning of each one can vary for different providers.
Please see "Monitoring Custom Data" for details on how to access these
parameters from the provider.
