View and manage plugins discovered on Cloudmon probes and agents. Plugins extend monitoring beyond built-in templates to cover custom applications, services, or hardware specific to your environment.
Cloudmon supports custom plugin-based monitoring for both probes and agents. Plugins are script-based and allow data collection from custom applications, services, or hardware not covered by Cloudmon's standard monitoring templates. Plugin files are placed in a designated directory on the probe or agent host, and Cloudmon automatically detects and lists them.
Plugin scripts are developed for specific use cases. If your organisation has a monitoring requirement not covered by built-in Cloudmon templates, contact Cloudmon support for assistance in developing and deploying the appropriate plugin.
Once a plugin script has been provided, the plugin files must be placed in the correct directory on the relevant host. The plugin folder name and the script file name inside it must match exactly. Once placed correctly, Cloudmon will automatically detect the plugin.
| Host Type | Plugin Directory |
| Linux Probe / Collector | /usr/local/cloudmon/collector/plugins/<plugin-folder>/ |
| Windows Probe / Collector / Agent | C:\Program Files (x86)\cloudmon-collector\plugins\<plugin-folder>\ |
| Linux Agent | /usr/local/cloudmon/agent/plugins/<plugin-folder>/ |
Once plugin files are correctly placed, the plugin will be automatically listed under the relevant device in Servers → Plugins. To view plugin status or manually trigger re-registration, navigate to Settings → Monitoring → Probes, locate the relevant probe, click the Edit icon, and open the Plugins tab. The Plugins tab displays the following information:
| Column | Description |
| Name | Name of the plugin as detected by the probe. |
| Discovery Status | Whether the plugin was successfully discovered by the probe. |
| Discovery Message | Any message or error returned during the discovery process. |
| Version | Version of the plugin script. |
| Template | Monitoring template associated with this plugin. |
| License | License status for this plugin. |
| Last Seen | Timestamp of the last time the plugin was detected. |
| Last Discovered | Timestamp of the most recent discovery scan. |
If the plugin does not appear automatically, click the Re-register button in the Plugins tab to trigger a fresh discovery scan.
For agent-monitored devices, plugins installed on the agent host are visible from the device detail page. Navigate to Agents, select the relevant device category, click the specific device, and open the Plugins tab. All plugins detected on that agent are listed with their discovery status, version, template, and last seen timestamp. If a newly added plugin does not appear, verify the plugin folder and file naming are correct and that the agent service has been restarted after placing the plugin files.
